Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the onion and toss it with the potato starch (or cornstarch) in a bowl.
- 2
Add the ground pork and all the seasonings (sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sake, salt, and pepper) to the bowl. Mix well until the mixture becomes sticky.
- 3
Cut the leftover gyoza wrappers in half, then slice them into thin strips.
- 4
Lightly oil your hands, shape the meat mixture from step 2 into balls, and roll them over the sliced wrappers to coat evenly.
- 5
Once the wrappers are evenly attached, gently shape the shumai and arrange them on a plate. (You can add any leftover wrapper strips to soup for a wonton-like effect!)
- 6
Top each shumai with a corn kernel, cover the plate with plastic wrap, and microwave at 800W for about 4 minutes. If the shumai are firm, they’re done!

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 -

This also eliminates the need to rest the filling, and is easier to wrap with the skins too.If you add a little sesame oil at the end, you can remove the gyoza dumplings easier from the frying pan should they get stuck. For 20 dumplings. Recipe by Hacchoumisoaji cookpad.japan -
