Hello!
Today we’re firmly on the food trend bandwagon, because so many of you have asked me about this dish and I can’t deny you any longer!
Although I live and breathe food content, following social media viral food trends is not generally my thing. Sometimes I see a trend recipe and give it a try; mostly I’m not quick enough off the mark to get on board before the trend fades away and we all forget about it. But dumpling lasagne? Count me (and lots of you, it seems) all the way in.
There are a couple of other winning easy dinner dishes from the archives below, plus a link to some really sweet little ceramic casserole pots to make all those dumpling lasagnes I’m sure will be filling your steam ovens in the days and weeks to come.
See you in a couple of weeks with some Easter suggestions (it’s early this year, and coming up fast!).

Steamed Dumpling Lasagne (inspired by the viral TikTok recipe)
Popularized by @april_eatz on TikTok and Instagram, this steamed pork dumpling lasagne delivers all the silky, soupy satisfaction of a soup dumpling, without the folding, pleating, or stovetop steaming. Layers of dumpling wrappers and seasoned filling cook together in small dishes, creating tender sheets and a savory broth . It’s simple, clever, and easy to pull off with perfection using your steam oven.
From the Archives:
In keeping with the ease of the dumpling lasagne, here are two other lovely and extremely simple recipes from the Insiders archive, to add to your easy steam oven dinners repertoire.
A Thing I'm Loving
Sometimes I use affiliate links in A Thing I’m Loving recommendations. If you purchase via these links I may make a small commission, at no additional cost to you.
If you’re super keen on the dumpling lasagne, and in the market for mini casserole/baking dishes to put yours into, can I recommend these very cute little blue casseroles? They come in a set of 4 and are just the right size for not only dumpling lasagne, but mini mac and cheese, starter portions of soup, potato gratin, individual puddings, you name it.
Ask Me Anything (AMA)
The AMA format has changed in 2026, but I still want your questions! This is still your best opportunity to ask me anything you like about steam oven cooking.
I’ll continue to answer some AMA questions via email, but my goal is to respond to more of them as articles on the Steam & Bake website. This makes the answers easier to search and refer back to if the same questions come up again. Whenever a new article is published in response to an AMA question, I’ll let you know here in our Insiders journals.
If you have a question, big or small, please email it to [email protected]. Be sure to include INSIDERS AMA in the subject line so I can easily collect and review all submissions.
