1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Asian (dark) sesame oil

1. To make the dipping sauce, whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, scallions, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper in a bowl until blended; set aside.
2. To make the filling, process the shrimp, scallions, water chestnuts, ginger, sherry, oyster sauce, sesame oil, egg white, and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
3. Arrange the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with water, then fold into half circles, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers, to make 36 dumplings. Place completed dumplings on a baking sheet lightly covered with cornstarch and cover with damp paper towels.
4. Put 8-10 dumplings in a steamer basket; set in a saucepan over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover tightly and steam until the dumplings are cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer the dumplings to a serving tray. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
