Wonderful appetizers. It's good, that's all I know. Cooking time is per batch.

4 medium shrimp, peeled,deveined
1 lb finely ground pork
1 (4 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
2 -3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced green onions
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon sake
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chinese black vinegar or 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons water
1/2-1 teaspoon hot chili paste
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
40 wonton wrappers or 40 gyoza skins
cornstarch

1. For filling: wrap shrimp in paper towels; squeeze out extra moisture and chop finely; combine shrimp, pork and water chestnuts in a medium bowl; mix well then stir in ginger, green onion, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper, combine thoroughly; mixture should be stiff; refrigerate until ready to use (you can do this several hours in advance).
2. For chili sauce: stir together soy sauce, sugar, black vinegar or Worcestershire, water, chili paste and ginger in a small bowl; place in a serving bowl and set aside.
3. Place 2 teaspoons filling in center of each wonton skin; moisten edges with water; fold over in half to cover filling; press edges to seal; arrange dumplings on a sheet light dusted with cornstarch.
4. Heat oven to 200°.

6. Drain on paper towels; place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
7. Fry remaining batches; reheat oil between batches.
8. Arrange dumplings on a platter and serve hot with chili sauce.
