Pork Dim Sum

This concludes the Chinese appetizer portion of recipes for the time being.   These are tasty, and surprisingly easy to make.  Before placing them all on a plate,  test one to make sure it is cooked all the way through.  

14 ounces ground pork

2 chopped scallions

1 1  3/4 oz canned bamboo shoots, drained, rinsed and chopped

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

2 teaspoons oil

2 teaspoons sugar

1 egg white, lightly beaten

4  1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

24 wonton wrappers

• Mix together the pork, scallions, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, oil, sugar and egg in a bowl
• Stir in cornstarch
• Spread out the wonton wrappers and place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of each wrapper and lightly brush edges with water
• Bring the sides of the wrappers together in the center of the filling, pinching firmly together
• Line a steamer with a clean, damp cloth and arrange the wontons inside
• Cover and steam for 10+ minutes (mine took closer to 18 minutes, so check often)
• **Make sure the pork is not pink before eating
