DIRECTIONS:

  1. Brush off any debris from the FunGuy crimini mushrooms with a damp cloth. Trim the ends of each mushroom stem and discard. Dice the mushrooms and set aside. Trim the roots from the onions and mince them, peel the garlic and ginger and mince together; set aside. 
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium high heat. Toss the onion, garlic and ginger into the wok and sauté for 1 minute. Toss in the diced mushrooms and sauté another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with the soy sauce and hoisin and cook another 2-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. Add the ground pork to the mushrooms along with the lime juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese five-spice powder, white pepper, sugar, salt, and sesame oil. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning through out the filling mixture. 
  4. Using a teaspoon, scoop a small amount of the filling and place on each wonton skin. Wet a finger and run it around the edge of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together, pushing the air out.
  5. To make the pleats fold and pinch at the top of the edge to make the first pleat, then work your way down one side and then down the other in the same motion. Place the finished dumplings on a dry surface.
  6. Heat about 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a layer of dumplings, flat side down, in the bottom of the pan and cook about 1 minute.
  7. Add ¼ cup water to the pan and cover immediately. Allow it to steam the dumplings for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook until the water has evaporated. Remove the dumplings from the pan and repeat with the rest of the uncooked ones.
  8. Arrange the cooked dumplings on a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  9. Serve these dumplings warm with soy sauce, sriracha, or chili oil!
