Authentic Steamed Shumai in a Bamboo Steamer

These juicy shumai are far tastier than store-bought versions. Using a bamboo steamer gives them a much fluffier and more delicious texture than microwaving.
About this recipe:
These shumai are so tender they almost melt in your mouth. The number of shumai you get will depend on how much filling you use for each one. The size here is between standard store-bought shumai and jumbo shumai. Each shumai weighs about 1.4 oz (40g): the wrapper is about 0.14 oz (4g), and the filling is about 1.3 oz (36–37g).

Easy and Authentic Shumai Easy and Authentic Shumai
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 cookpad.japan -

Sublime Homemade Shumai Dumplings Sublime Homemade Shumai Dumplings
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 cookpad.japan -

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. Recipe by *tsumuji mama * cookpad.japan -
