Steamed Pork Wontons
Steps
The 8 ounces pork loin should be ground together with 1 ounce of fatback or suet.
Blanch bamboo shoots for 1 minute in boiling water.
Drain , pat dry and mince finely.
In a large bowl , combine pork , bamboo shoots , sesame oil , rice wine , cornstarch , egg white , salt , sugar and pepper until well mixed.
Form into 30 1-inch balls.
Trim the corners of won ton wrappers to form circles.
Cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
To assemble , place a meatball in the center of each wrapper and bring up sides , to form an open topped basket.
Flatten the top of each meatball with a butter knife dipped in water and flatten bottoms of dumpling so they stand upright.
Place on a lightly oiled plate and set in bamboo steamer or on an inverted heatproof bowl or trivet set in a wok filled with 2 inches of boiling water.
Cover and steam for 5 to 8 minutes or until done.
Serve hot.
