Recipe that makes around 30 Chinese steamed pork dumplings with soy sauce and mustard.
Jiaozi or gyôza and also known as mandu, is a Chinese dumpling, widely popular in China, Japan, and Korea as well as outside of East Asia, particularly in the United States.
The dumplings typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.

6 Dried Chinese black Mushrooms
Sherry
1 ½ tsp Light soy Sauce
1 1/2 tbsp Peanut oil

6 oz Shrimp, shelled & de-veined
2 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Salt

6 oz Ground Pork butt
Coriander leaves
2 Green onions, chopped
2 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp White pepper

1/4 c Finely diced bamboo shoots
1 Oil

Chestnuts, preferably fresh
Chinese mustard, for dipping
1 tbsp Shao Hsing Rice wine or dry.
Cooking Directions:

The wheat starch wrappers have an interesting chewy texture, a unique translucent appearance and are absorbent of flavors.
Roll out the wrappers as thin as possible; otherwise they come out rubbery.
Cover mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes or until soft and pliable.
Remove and squeeze out excess water from the mushrooms. Cut off the stems at the base and discard them. Finely mince the caps.
Toss the shrimp with salt and let them stand 10 minutes. Rinse well with cold water, pat dry.
Coarsely mince. Preheat a wok or skillet. when Hot, add the peanut oil. over medium high heat, add the mushrooms, shrimps, Pork butt, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and half the green onions; stir-fry until the Pork turns white.
Season with the Sugar, white pepper, wine and soy Sauce.
Combine the cornstarch and chicken stock in a small bowl and mix until smooth; pour into wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute longer.
Remove the mixture to a shallow plate and mix in the remaining green onion and coriander. Allow the filling to cool, then refrigerate it until needed.
Prepare the Wheat Starch Wrapper dough.
Pinch off 1-inch balls of dough. Lightly oil the ball and flatten it into a thin 3 1/2-inch circle. Put 1 large tsp of filling in the center of the circle. Fold it in half and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Place dumplings without touching each other on a lightly oiled bamboo steamer (or a heat resistant plate).
Steam over boiling water for 3 minutes. Serve Hot, dipped in light soy Sauce and Chinese mustard.
Serve with Chinese Mustard, for dipping.
