Instructions

1. Make the filling: in a large bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with the oyster sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch until slightly sticky. Add the grated ginger and scallions and mix until evenly combined.
2. Off the heat, spread the cooking oil evenly over the bottom of a large nonstick pan.
3. Scoop 9 portions of filling into the pan, leaving space between each one.
4. Lay a wonton or dumpling wrapper over each mound and gently press it down so it hugs the filling.
5. Set the pan over medium heat and pan-fry for about 1 minute, until the filling begins to set.
6. Carefully pour in the water, partly covering the pan while adding it to contain the splatter. Once all the water is in, cover completely and steam for about 4 minutes, until the shrimp is fully cooked through.
7. Remove the lid and cook for about 1 minute more, until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are golden and crispy. Leave the dumplings undisturbed.
8. Turn off the heat, sprinkle with the sliced scallion, and serve immediately with the soy sauce and chili oil.
