Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
Method
Quarter each shrimp; place in bowl. Add mushrooms, water chestnuts, oyster sauce, coriander, ginger, green onions, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce (if using).
Working with 4 wonton wrappers at a time and keeping remainder covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out, mound 1 tbsp (15 mL) filling in centre of each; brush rim with cold water. Bring up corners and pinch together in centre; pinch sides closed. (Make-ahead: Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover with damp towel and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Or omit towel and freeze until firm; layer between waxed paper in airtight container and freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
Dipping Sauce: In small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, half of the green onion, the lemon juice and half of the sesame seeds; set aside.
Place steamer basket in wok or shallow pan; add enough water to come 1 inch (2.5 cm) from rack. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-high.
Line rack with lettuce leaves; arrange half of the wontons, without touching, on lettuce. Cover and steam until shrimp are pink, about 10 minutes. Transfer wontons to lettuce-lined platter. Repeat with remaining wontons, discarding steamed lettuce.
Sprinkle with remaining green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with sauce.
