Step 1
Chop shrimp into small pieces; mix with pork, mushrooms, half the green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Step 2
Place a wonton wrapper in your palm; add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
Step 3
Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open. Gently squeeze to form a cylinder shape.
Step 4
Tap the bottom on the counter to flatten; place on a parchment-lined steamer basket.
Step 5
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Brush the tops with water and sprinkle with remaining green onions.
Step 6
Steam over boiling water, covered, for 12-15 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
Step 7
Serve hot with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.
