Wontons with Yuzu Mayo Shrimp
These Wontons with Yuzu Mayo Shrimp are crunchy, savoury, creamy, spicy and tangy all in one incredible bite. The filling features succulent shrimp, creamy mayonnaise, spicy chili garlic sauce, tangy rice vinegar and aromatic brightness of yuzu juice. I serve these with an easy and delicious dipping sauce — just 4 ingredients of mayo, honey, soy sauce and yuzu juice. Sooo good.

Shanghai Pork + Bok Choy Wontons / Dumplings
Che vey! That's shanghainese for "eat rice" which is like saying "bon appetit" before you begin a meal. These words were most frequently uttered around my grandmother's dinner table. She was the one who created the shanghai wonton loving monster that I am. Sometimes when we are feeling decadent (not lazy), we also add a tiny morsel of raw white shrimp in with the filling. Homemade dumplings are a labor of love but so very worth it. Put some great music on and make them asap!
