My mother has been making these shumai for a long time.

When filling the dumplings, I use two disposable chopsticks to neaten up the shape. Even if the dumplings are a bit misshapen, after they are steamed you won't notice it much. If you are steaming them in a microwave, the cooking time varies depending on how many you're cooking. I think it's about 4 to 5 minutes per 10 shumai, covered with plastic wrap.

Steps

1

Finely chop the onion and leek. Combine with the ground pork and mix well with your hands.
2

Add the rest of the ingredients except for the shumai skins, and knead together well.
3

Put 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of each shumai skin, and fold in the 4 corners to wrap it in. Tap the bottom against a flat surface to flatten it to finish.
4

Line the formed shumai dumplings in a steamer. Leave a little space in between them since they will expand a bit.
5

I use a microwave steaming bowl I got at a 100 yen shop, but if you're using a conventional stove top steamer, it takes about 13 minutes to cook over medium heat.
6

Serve with Japanese mustard and soy sauce.
