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.
