Step 1

Chop your shrimp into small pieces and add to a large mixing bowl with your ground pork, then add garlic, ginger, scallions, white pepper, kosher salt, sugar, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, and light soy sauce.

Step 2

Mix in one direction until the filling is combined and you can see streaks along the edge of your bowl. Pick up the filling and throw it down a couple times (Da Xian) to create additional springiness and texture in the filling.

Step 3

Optional but recommended: Fry a little bit of the filling to taste test and adjust seasoning to your preference if needed! I always do this before folding my wontons - there is nothing worse than spending the time to fold to find out the seasoning is off to your preference.

Step 4

To make your wonton, place a 1/2 tbsp of filling in the center of your wrapper. Wet two adjacent sides of your wrapper with water, then fold over into a triangle and seal, making sure all air escapes from the inside of the wrapper. Then wet the two long corners of your wonton and connect them together to form a tortellini-esque shape.

Step 5

Cook for 3-4 minutes on a high simmer (medium high) until the dumplings float. If cooking from frozen, add 2-3 minutes of cooking time. You do not want a rapid boil, otherwise the dumplings wrappers may break.

Step 6

To make the sauce, combine creamy peanut butter, chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, grated garlic, and hot water in a bowl and mix until smooth. Add more hot water as necessary to create a smooth consistency. Serve with your freshly boiled wontons and enjoy!
