Ingredients:
1/3 cup canned bamboo shoot, drained
8 ounces pork loin (with fatback or suet)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice wine or 1 teaspoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg white
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, ground
30 wonton skins, defrosted
Directions:
1. The 8 ounces pork loin should be ground together with 1 ounce of fatback or suet.

3. In a large bowl, combine pork, bamboo shoots, sesame oil, rice wine, cornstarch, egg white, salt, sugar and pepper until well mixed.
4. Form into 30 1-inch balls.
5. Trim the corners of won ton wrappers to form circles; cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
6. To assemble, place a meatball in the center of each wrapper and bring up sides, to form an open topped basket.
7. Flatten the top of each meatball with a butter knife dipped in water and flatten bottoms of dumpling so they stand upright.
8. Place on a lightly oiled plate and set in bamboo steamer or on an inverted heatproof bowl or trivet set in a wok filled with 2 inches of boiling water.
9. Cover and steam for 5 to 8 minutes or until done.
10. Serve hot.
