I didn't use the exact filling recipe as I used the left over fillings for the wanton. So it the texture was flat and not springy.
Nevertheless this is the actual recipe:

Seasoning: 1 ts salt, 1 ts chicken stock granules, 1 ts sesame oil, 1 tb sugar, 1/4 ts pepper, 1 1/2 tb starch powder
Ingredients B: 15 shiitake mushrooms, washed and soaked, squeezed dry.
Marinade: 1 tb soya sauce, 1 tb oyster sauce, 1 ts tapioca flour 1 tb oil
Method: Mix A with seasoning until mixture is sticky and springy. Mix B with marinade and season for 15 mins. Form mixture into 15 balls and cover with mushrooms. Steam with high heat for 15 mins until cooked. Serve hot.

So easy to make. Just make sure the water ratio per egg is - 1:3. Otherwise it will get too watery or too hard.
