Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the ground beef until browned.

3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Stir in the cabbage, carrots, and spinach, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chili crisp, chicken broth, and cornstarch.

6. Pour most of the sauce into the skillet, reserving about 1/4 cup for the top, and stir until the filling is glossy and lightly thickened.

7. Spoon a small amount of sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

8. Add a layer of wonton wrappers, slightly overlapping them, then spread over part of the beef mixture.

9. Repeat the layers until all of the filling is used, finishing with wonton wrappers on top.

10. Spoon the reserved sauce over the top layer, cover with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.

11. Remove the foil and bake for 8 to 10 more minutes until the wrappers are tender and the top is set.

12. Rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not skip the resting time after baking, because slicing too early can make the layers slide apart and the sauce feel too loose.
