Ingredients

  • …for shumai
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 4 oz shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 green onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 35 square wonton wrappers (Produce)
  • Parchment paper
  • ½ cup frozen peas and carrots (optional, for garnish)
  • …for dipping sauce
  • 1 tbsp roasted red chile paste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Steps

    1. Chop finely ginger, mushrooms, green onion, and garlic. Combine remaining filling ingredients (except wontons, peas, and carrots) ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Place a damp paper towel over the wonton wrappers to keep them from drying out.
    2. Remove 1 wrapper & make a circle with your thumb and index finger; lay the wrapper on top gently pressing it down to create a cup. Add 1 tablespoon filling, smooth filling down with the back of a butter knife. Fold the overhanging wrapper edges down, leaving the filling exposed. Press the wrapper firmly around the filling, brushing lightly with water help seal. Pat the top and bottom of the dumpling to make it flat.
    3. Top each dumpling with 1 each frozen pea and carrot; press gently to secure. Repeat to form the remaining dumplings. Cut out a round of parchment paper to fit in a bamboo steamer and punch holes in the paper to let steam through.
    4. Put dumplings in the steamer and cover. Bring 2-3 inches of water to a boil in a wok or skillet. Carefully place steamer into wok or skillet making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Steam dumplings 8- 0 minutes and until pork is cooked through.
    5. Combine sauce ingredients. Serve with the dumplings for dipping.
