Start this dumpling recipe by preparing the stuffing: peel and grate the ginger. Finely chop the onion and basil leaves. Cut the bacon into very small dice then brown them in a pan for about 3 to 4 minutes with the ginger, half the onion and the herbs. Let cool then add the other half. Add the previously drained and crumbled crab meat, then season with pepper and mix well.
The sauce: take the zest of the lime then its juice. Emulsify the sesame oil with the tamari soy sauce, the nuoc mam, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, the zest and the chilli.
Wontons: place a square of ravioli on the work surface and place a teaspoon of stuffing in the middle. Wet the outline of the paste with your fingers or a brush then fold the two opposite points and press lightly to stick them together. Then gather the other two points, one after the other, towards the top to close the pyramid-style ravioli. Press along the edges to make sure they stick together. Repeat the operation to form at least 24 ravioli.
Cooking side: place the wontons in the steamer basket. (Cook them in several batches depending on the size of your material). Place the basket over a saucepan half filled with boiling water and cook the wontons over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Serve them with the sauce.
