If you do not have a mixer, after you have added the water to the flour/salt work the dough with the handle of a wooden spoon until it is c o o l enough to knead by hand. Then knead on an oiled surface until springy. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
Mix shrimp, water chestnuts, soy sauce,sugar and cornstarch with your fingers until sticky. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll the dough out into a long sausage and cut off pieces (Apprx 14" long& into 16 pieces).
Roll out each piece into a thin round. Place a teaspoon of the filling on each round and pinch the edges together (press with a fork to decorate the edges).
Oil your steamer and place the dumplings in it and steam over high heat for 8-9 minutes. Serve with a spicy chili sauce or Soy mixed with hot mustard.
