  2. 2
    Combine the ground pork, mushrooms, minced water chestnuts, cilantro, and scallions in to a large bowl. Add rice wine, sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, peanut butter, sugar, salt & pepper, and stir. Introduce cornstarch and incorporate all of the flavour using your hands. Let mixture set in fridge for at least 4 hours.

    After 4 hours, remove your dumpling mixture. Add beaten egg whites and mix in with hands again.

    Place won ton skins on work surface and lightly cover with a damp towel, this will prevent them from drying out.

    Make a circle with your thumb and index finger on your left hand and place a wonton wrapper over the circle. With a spoon scoop a couple of teaspoons of the mix in to the wrapper letting it sag through your finger circle. Gently squeeze the top together and pleat the excess skin - pressing down the filling. Repeat until you have used all of your dumpling mix.
