Ingredients

• 150 g Shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
• 100 g Ground pork
• 2 pc Spring onions, finely sliced
• 2 pc Garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 0.5 bunch Coriander, chopped
• 16 pc Wonton wrappers
• 1 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1 pc Garlic clove, finely chopped (for the dip)
• 2 pc Thai chilies, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce (for the dip)
• 1 tsp Sugar (for the dip)
• 2 tbsp Water

Method

1. Mix the shrimp, ground pork, spring onions, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, coriander, and a pinch of salt and pepper thoroughly in a bowl until a homogeneous mixture forms.
2. For the dip, stir together the garlic, Thai chilies, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water until the sugar has dissolved, then set aside.
3. Place one heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edges with a little water, fold the wrapper into a triangle, and press the edges firmly together.
4. Place the dumplings on a floured plate or one lined with baking paper so they don't stick together.
5. Set a steamer basket over boiling water. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer and steam for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.
6. Heat the cooking oil in a pan and fry the dumplings bottom-side down for about 1 minute until crispy, if desired.
7. Serve the dumplings warm with the dip.
