1
Mix the pork, scallions, mushrooms, ginger, sesame oil, cilantro, soy sauce, and pepper.
2
Spoon a teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of a wrapper. Brush the edges lightly with egg, fold the wrapper in half, and crimp the edges to seal. Transfer to a cornstarch-dusted baking sheet.
3
Fill a large saucepan about one–fourth full of water and bring to a boil. Line a steamer with lettuce and add the wontons. Place the steamer on a rack so it sits above the water. Cover and steam the dumplings for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Serve at once.
