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

Steps

1

Finely chop the onion and mushroom, place in a bowl, and mix in the 3 tablespoons of katakuriko.
2

Mix well and toss until all the diced pieces of onion separate. If the onion is too moist, add more corn starch and adjust.
3

Massage the peeled shrimp with salt, then rinse. Chop into a paste.
4

Combine soy sauce, sake, sugar, oyster sauce, and Chinese soup stock.
5

Add the pork and shrimp into the bowl from Step 1. Add the mixed condiments from Step 4. Knead well until sticky.
6

The filling is done when you knead until the meat becomes slightly white.
7

Spread a shumai skin on the palm of your hand. Place about 25 mm worth of filling on top and wrap it up.
8

Make a hoop with your thumb and index finger. Place the filled skin on top. Press down into shape.
9

Spread paper towels in a well-heated steamer. Align the shumai so that they won't stick together. Steam for 15 minutes. Make sure not to burn yourself.
10

If you are steaming them in a microwave, spread out cabbage or Chinese cabbage leave underneath. It will add moisture and make the shumai extra juicy.
