* 3 ounces shelled, deveined large shrimp
* 3 ounces [ground [pork]]
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped bamboo shoots, canned or fresh
* 2 water chestnuts, finely chopped, to make 2 tablespoons

* 2 teaspoons minced ginger
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1½ teaspoons red wine or rice vinegar
* 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
* 20 round wonton wrappers

== Directions ==
# Soften the dried mushrooms by soaking them in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes.
# Squeeze out any excess water.
# Remove the stems and chop finely.
# Soak the shrimp in lightly salted warm water for 5 minutes.
# Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
# While the mushrooms and shrimp are soaking, prepare the vegetables.
# In a medium bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients.
# Lay the wonton out.
# Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle.
# Wet all the edges with water (you can also use lightly beaten egg if desired).
# Carefully fold the wonton over the filling and seal, crimping the edges as you do so.
# Continue with the remainder of the wonton wrappers until the filling is gone.
# Add the oil to the wok and heat to between 360°F and 375°F.
# Deep-fry the gow gees, a few at a time, until they are golden brown (2 to 3 minutes).
# Use a slotted spoon to remove the gow gees from the oil.
# Drain on paper towels.
# Serve the gow gees hot with soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce, or your favorite dumpling dipping sauce.
