After thinking what I could cook with cherry tomatoes, I decided to make easy siumai dumplings since my family loves them. And they raved about this version! It's so nice to be complimented.In Step 4, it's OK to pan fry the dumplings like you do for gyoza dumplings, but if you add about 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil at the end, the dumplings will become crispier. Stick on strips of pork on the tomato rather than wrapping it if pieces are too small. If you don't have enough pork, replace with bacon. For 20 siumai dumplings. Recipe by Renbasu

It's my vaunted shumai that's been passed on from my mother. It's so authentic that some people even ask me if I bought it in Chinatown, but it's actually easy to make.The key is to make the onions feel flaky with corn starch. This will help make your shumai moist. Use a steamer if possible. If you're microwaving, spread Chinese cabbage leaves underneath to prevent the skins from drying up. It's well-flavored and shouldn't need soy sauce. For 40 shumai. Recipe by Celery salt

My uncle, who is a chef, makes these delicious shumai. They're plump and filling, like daifuku rice cakes. I've been experimenting with the recipe since learning how to make them. I recreated a version that can be made with simple ingredients on hand. It's also tasty with shrimp, shiitake, and yamaimo (yam potatoes). They're great snacks for kids or toddlers who are weaning.The only secret to this recipe is to thoroughly blend the ingredients. Scoop up the filling with a spoon and drop onto the cut wrappers; no need to mold each dumpling. The wrappers are cut up, so all you need to do is cover the filling with them. In fact, it's easier than making gyoza pot stickers or croquettes. It's a pleasurable feeling to huff and puff on the steaming dumplings while munching on them. Since they warm me up, I eat them on rainy or cold days. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by cocorarara

I was thinking that it's a bother to haul out the steamer to steam shumai dumplings, so I thought of cooking in the rice cooker instead. I also thought that sweet rice shumai dumplings can't be the main carbohydrate on their own... so I tried making the rice for the meal with the dumplings, and it succeeded. We use this "two birds with one stone" recipe all the time now.You can use Chinese cabbage, regular cabbage or komatsuna greens, but Chinese cabbage is very watery so you may need to adjust the amount of water added to the cooker. Regular rice may not work, since the lettuce and shumai dumplings will become immersed in water. (I haven't tried it out though.)Try different variations of the rice and shumai dumplings and adjust the amounts of your ingredients to taste. For 2 rice cooker cups' worth of rice and 7 shumai (siumai) dumplings. Recipe by Masapandayan

My husband said this a long time ago, "I heard Tofu is healthy, but I tasted nothing when I had it and I don't understand why people are interested in that."Yes! Tofu is not the thing to have by itself. Always should be eaten with soy sauce, put in miso soup, or something else...In Japan, tofu is used for many things. Menu of stew, grill, stir-fry, bake, steam, or mix with something - just like you use meat.This is a "steam" menu with tofu. Mix with Hanpen fish cake (made from the mixture of minced cod fish, egg white, Chinese yam, and some seasonings). Easily able to get at the grocery store in Japan.My parents do love tofu, and mom has lots of incredible tofu recipes. Enjoy tofu in a fancy & tastier way!#heirloom

Some time ago, I was so busy taking care of my children, plus I had to cook for my large family. I was trying to make as many shumai dumplings as possible as fast and easily as possible, and tried making these quickly in just 15 minutes, using ingredients I had on hand. They looked luxurious, and the taste exceed my expectations and got rave reviews. Since we can all enjoy them together, they've become a family favorite.If you're using ground pork, I think it's a good idea to use a generous amount of oyster sauce.When cooking the shumai, if any of the kitchen parchment paper is sticking out from under the lid it may catch fire, so watch out for that.I recommend serving this to many guests or at parties too. For 4 to 8 servings - 2-3 batches using a 28 cm [11.0 in] diameter frying pan. Recipe by Karenmamacchi

It was too much trouble wrapping them, so I came up with a twist.It's better to spread parchment paper on the bottom of your steamer.Place your steamer on top of water that's already boiling.Cook it constantly on high heat. For approx. 12 to 15 dumplings. Recipe by Cosy19
