Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix pork, shrimp, 1 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and half the scallions in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tsp filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Gather corners and squeeze gently to form an open-top pouch.

  3. Step 3

    Fill a steamer basket or pot with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-high for a rolling steam.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange dumplings in a single layer on parchment, spacing them an inch apart. Steam for 8 minutes until wrappers turn translucent.

  5. Step 5

    Mix remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce with 1 tbsp water. Brush the glaze over the hot dumplings and scatter remaining scallions on top.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with soy sauce and chili oil for dipping.
