Cover with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for an hour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of Naturel Premium Blend Cooking Oil over medium heat in a large pan.
Add the chopped small onion and cook until translucent. Then add the chopped shiitake mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes
Transfer to a bowl, along with the minced chicken, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, Shaoxing wine, and 3 tablespoons of Naturel Premium Blend Cooking Oil.
Use a pair of chopsticks to mix the fillings together in one direction for about 5 minutes, until the mixture resembles a paste.
