Cooking Process

   Step 1

   Prep the ingredients: 1. Rinse the shrimp, squeeze out excess water, and cut into small pieces. 2. Finely chop about 150g celery and squeeze out the water — it adds freshness and crunch. 3. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms until rehydrated, squeeze out water, and mince. 4. For the scallion-ginger-garlic water: chop or smash a few scallion segments and ginger slices, place in a bowl. Pour in about 80-100ml hot water (70-80°C, not boiling), steep for 10-15 minutes, pressing occasionally. Strain out the solids and keep only the clear infused water. Let it cool before gradually mixing into the filling.

   Mix the filling: Add all seasonings to the ground pork and stir vigorously in one direction until it becomes sticky and cohesive. Gradually add the scallion-ginger-garlic water, waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Then fold in the shrimp pieces and all the chopped vegetables, mixing until evenly combined.
