3. Cover with a moistened and wrung out kitchen towel, and leave to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to an hour.
4. Make the filling. Dissolve the Chinese soup stock in 50 ml of boiling water. Add the gelatin and let it absorb the water. Microwave and dissolve the gelatin. Chill and harden the jelly in the refrigerator.
5. Roughly chop the bamboo shoots, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and leeks. Finely chop the ginger. Combine the chopped up ingredients and the ground pork until the meat is sticky. Add the seasoning ingredients.

10. Center a meat filling on the dough circle, and add 2 shrimps on top. Wrap the filling.
