Steamed Tofu Shumai with Ground Pork (Seiro Style)
The firm tofu soaks up all the delicious flavor from the ground pork! These shumai are light and fluffy—you’ll want to eat a bunch. Enjoy them with a dipping sauce of soy sauce or mentsuyu and vinegar.
Recipe background:
I’ve made tofu shumai before using shredded cabbage instead of wrappers, or adding shrimp, all steamed in a bamboo steamer. This time, I used shumai wrappers to make tofu shumai with ground pork and firm tofu.

- 1
Wrap the firm tofu in paper towels and let it sit for a while to drain excess water, changing the paper towels a few times as needed.
- 2
Place the drained tofu in a bowl and mash it well with a masher or your hands until very fine.
- 3
Add the ground pork, finely chopped onion, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, sesame oil, grated ginger, and potato starch to the bowl.
- 4
Mix everything together well by hand.
- 5
Wrap the meat mixture in the shumai wrappers.
- 6
Line two bamboo steamers with parchment paper. (Used 7-inch / 18 cm diameter steamers for this recipe.)
- 7
Arrange the shumai in the steamers, spacing them so they don’t touch each other.
- 8
Fill a pot with plenty of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once steaming, stack the two steamers on top, cover, and steam for 10 minutes.
- 9
Adjust the heat so the flames don’t go beyond the pot, and make sure the water doesn’t boil dry while steaming.
- 10
When done, turn off the heat, remove the lid, and serve the steamers on a plate with dipping sauce on the side.
