Shumai Dumplings
Yummy dumplings easy to make at home. wiki
"Maybe one of the most beautiful and technically difficult dumplings to make, shumai are not all looks — they taste delicious. source"
Strangely I found these much easier and quicker to make than Gyoza.
What
- Ground pork (I sometimes buy the mixed Beef and Pork, as it is easier to find here in DE)
- Shiitake Mushrooms
- Shrimp
- Soy Sause
- Oyster Sause
- Sesame oil
- Corn Starch
- Shaoxing Wine
- Wonton wrappers (These come frozen from Asian grocery store)
- MSG
How
Mix pork with everything except the mushrooms and shrimp. Hack the mushrooms and shrimp and mix them in. Take Wonton wrappers and using a C shape with your thumb and index finger create the dumplings. Then steam for ~10-13 min, depending on how large you made the dumplings.
