  • Chop the pork with a fork to separate it. Place it in a bowl and add the shrimp (dry; if they are wet, first use a paper towel to absorb the moisture). Chop the shrimp very finely (it should be almost like a paste). Add the meat to the chopped water chestnuts and finely chopped mushrooms. Add the rest of the ingredients (soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, sesame oil, sugar, pepper, scallions, ginger, egg white, and cornstarch). Mix well.
  • To prepare the dumplings, place the dumpling dough (available at an Asian supermarket) and put a tablespoon of the filling you prepared in the center. Put a little water on the edge of the dough and seal it by forming pleats around it. Continue with the rest of the dumplings until finished.
  • In a steamer for dumplings, place a round piece of parchment paper (to prevent the dumplings from sticking). Arrange the dumplings with half a centimeter of space between them on the parchment paper. Put a pot of water to boil, and when it is boiling, place the steamer on top and cook the dumplings for 15 minutes on high heat. Serve with prepared soy sauce.
