2. Put all the shrimp in a food safe plastic bag and crush using the flat part of a cleaver. Then break into smaller chunks using the back of the cleaver. Transfer the shrimp into a bowl.

3. Using the same bag, crush the water chestnuts into small chunks.

4. Add the salt, pepper, and sesame oil to the shrimp and mix using your hands (gloves are recommended). Stir in one direction until the shrimp becomes sticky.

5. Add the crushed water chestnuts and chopped green onion to the shrimp and continue mixing until the whole mixture sticks together.

Wrapper

7. To make the wrapper, add the salt and flavourless oil to the steamed dumpling wrapper mix.

8. Pour in the boiling hot water while stirring until a dough forms.

9. Transfer the mixture onto a work surface and knead until smooth. The dough may be a little tacky but don’t add any more of the mix unless it’s too sticky to handle.

10. Roll the dough into a log. Divide into half, then each into eight, creating sixteen pieces total. Keep all the dough covered so they don’t dry out.

Assembling & Steaming

11. To assemble the dumplings, lightly dust the work surface, then flatten a piece of dough with a bench scraper to form an even wrapper.

12. Scoop on roughly 1 tbsp or 20 g of filling and carefully fold the wrapper until sealed. Roll the excess dough to form a point, flatten slightly, then cut in half to form the ears of the bunny. Press the ears into place, pinch the base to form a snout, and indent the ears with the end of a fork.

13. Prepare a pot of boiling water, and steam the dumplings on high heat for 6 minutes.
