Steamed Meat Dumplings

• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 pound ground pork sausage
• dried mushrooms 4 med. sized, or 1/2 c. minced fresh mushro
• 1/2 cup water chestnuts minced
• 1/4 cup chinese parsley fresh, coriander
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
• 1 cup green onion finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon sherry
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons wine vinegar
• 48 siu mai wrappers
• salad oil

1. To make filling: Cover dried mushrooms with hot water, let stand for 30 minutes, then drain. Cut off and discard stems; squeeze mushrooms dry and finely chop. Mix mushrooms with rest of filling ingredients.
2. Wrapping: Place 1 teaspoon pork mixture on center of siu mai wrapper. Gather dough up and around filling and give a light squeeze in the middle. Top surface of filling should be exposed. Tap bottom of a flat surface so the dumpling will stand upright. Brush dumpling with salad oil.
3. Steaming: Place dumplings without crowding directly on the greased woven bottom of a bamboo steamer. Set the steamer in the wok. Fill wok with boiling water, leaving 1 1/2 inches between water level and bottom of steamer. Cover and steam for 20 minutes.
4. Serve dumplings hot with dipping sauce (you may add 2 teaspoons sugar to sauce).
5. Cooked ahead: Cover and chill for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month. To freeze cooked dumplings, place slightly apart on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to plastic bags and return to freezer. Reheat by steaming for 12-15 minutes.
6. Comments: Insert toothpicks for easy serving. If you use an aluminum steamer, do the same as you use a bamboo steamer. But if you do not have either steamer. Arrange dumplings in a round cake pan. Set pan on the steam rack in the wok. Fill bottom of wok with boiling water to a level at least 1 inch below rack. Steam for the same amount of time.
