Ingredients:

Filling Ingredients:

  • 10 medium dried shiitake mushrooms
  • ½ lb shelled and deveined raw shrimp finely chopped
  • 1 lb ground pork 20% fat
  • 1 carrot grated (yields about ½ cup)
  • 4 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper powder

Instructions:

  • Soak the mushrooms in hot water until soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze excess water. Mince into small pieces.
  • In a bowl, combine the rest of the filling ingredients. Mix well, until the paste becomes sticky.
  • Take a Shumai wrapper and add about 1 tablespoon filling to the center. Turn up the sides of the wrapper around the filling and lightly squeeze to form a pleat shape, leaving the top open. Space the Shumai about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
  • Line your steamer with a clean, wet dish towel or lightly greased paper parchment. Transfer the Shumai into the steamer, one finger’s width apart. Cover and steam over boiling water for 8 - 12 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve with dumpling dipping sauce of your choice. Store and cook frozen (no thawing needed).

Notes:

1.) You can prepare these shu mai ahead of time and store in the freezer.
2.) When reheating, place them in a lightly greased baking sheet and steam without thawing or defrosting. Just bring the water to a boil and steam until thoroughly cooked around 12-15 minutes.
