Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • ½ cup chopped raw peeled tail-off shrimp
  • ½ cup chopped leeks
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 30 pieces premade circular wonton wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon high-smoke-point neutral cooking oil (such as vegetable oil)
  • to taste chili oil
  • to taste black vinegar

Method
 

  1. Stir together the pork, shrimp, leeks, scallions, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, bouillon, sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Place 1 tablespoon of the pork filling on the center of 1 wonton wrapper. Using a spoon, smear the filling in an even layer across the face of the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
  4. Working in batches of 3 or 4 dumplings (8–10 batches total), add the dumplings to the hot oil, and cook until the bottoms are crispy and slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until the wrappers crisp up, about 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
  5. Serve with chili oil, black vinegar, and more soy sauce.
  6. Enjoy!
