   • Start by grinding the 8 ounces of pork loin together with 1 ounce of fatback or suet until well combined and smooth.

2. Prepare the Bamboo Shoots:

   • Blanch the bamboo shoots for about 1 minute in boiling water. Then, drain them and pat dry before mincing them finely.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork mixture with the minced bamboo shoots, sesame oil, rice wine, dry sherry, cornstarch, egg white, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Mix everything together until well incorporated.

4. Form Meatballs:

   • Divide the mixture into 30 equal portions and roll each portion into a 1-inch ball.

5. Prepare Wonton Wrappers:

   • Trim the corners of the wonton wrappers to form circles. Cover them with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

6. Assemble the Wontons:

   • Take each wonton wrapper and place a meatball in the center. Bring up the sides of the wrapper to form an open-topped basket around the meatball.

7. Shape the Wontons:

   • Flatten the top of each meatball using a butter knife dipped in water. Also, flatten the bottoms of the wontons slightly so they can stand upright.

8. Steam the Wontons:

   • Lightly oil a plate and arrange the assembled wontons on it. Place the plate in a bamboo steamer or on an inverted heatproof bowl or trivet set in a wok filled with about 2 inches of boiling water.
   • Cover the steamer and steam the wontons for 5 to 8 minutes or until they are fully cooked and tender.

9. Serve Hot:

   • Once done, carefully remove the steamed pork wontons from the steamer and serve them hot, garnished with your favorite dipping sauce or chopped green onions for added flavor.
