How To Make Shrimp Shumai
Forget about Chinese takeout or eating out at dim sum restaurants just for a basket of shrimp shumai! Make this dim sum classic at home in 5 easy steps. The ingredients take about 10 minutes to prepare while steaming the assembled shumai takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- Wonton wrappers approximately 22 pieces
- 200 g of shrimp
- 100 g of pork
- 2 g of salt
- 2 g of white pepper powder
- 2 g of chicken bouillon powder
- 2 g of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of light soy sauce
- 1 tsp of cooking wine I recommend using Shaoxing Wine for this
- 1 tsp of oyster sauce
- 1 tsp of sesame oil
- 50 g of chopped shiitake mushrooms
- 100 g of corn kernels
- Topping: Extra whole shrimp optional
Instructions
- Put the pork and peeled and deveined shrimp in a food processor. Blend until you form a smooth paste.
- Season with salt, white pepper, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, light soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Cut the shiitake mushrooms into small bits.
- Mix the chopped mushrooms and corn into the meat mixture. If using canned corn, be sure to drain any excess liquid.
- Take your wonton wrappers and place a teaspoon of filling in the center. Wrap the filling by pulling up the edges of the wrapper, giving you a basket-like shape. For decoration, consider topping it with shrimp, peeled and deveined, without the heads.
- Line the steamer basket with parchment paper, place the shumai, and steam for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked.
