Thank you for checking out this recipe! I love juicy pork shumai and sweet shrimp shumai, but I wanted to create a super healthy version using tofu. These shumai are high in protein, low in calories, and gentle on the body, making them a great choice for pregnant women and young children.

Ingredients

Makes about 10 large shumai
  1. 7 ozfirm tofu (about 200g)
  2. 7 ozground chicken breast (about 200g)
  3. 15–20 wonton wrappers (or shumai wrappers)
  4. 2-inch piece green onion, minced (about 2 inches/5cm)
  5. 1 tspginger juice
  6. 2 tspsake (Japanese rice wine)
  7. 1 tspsoy sauce
  8. 1 tbspoyster sauce
  9. 2 tbsppotato starch (or cornstarch)
  10. Pinchsalt
  11. 3–4 napa cabbage leaves
  12. 1/4–1/3 cup water (60–80ml)
  13. Corn or edamame for garnish (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Drain the tofu well to remove excess water.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, drained tofu, and all the ingredients marked with ◆. Mix well, then shape into balls about 1.5–2 inches (4–5cm) in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cut the wonton wrappers in half and slice into thin strips. Press the strips onto the surface of each meatball to cover. Top with edamame if you like. (See tips below.)

  4. 4

    Line a skillet with napa cabbage leaves and arrange the shumai on top, making sure they don’t touch each other. Pour water around the edge of the pan.

  5. 5

    Cover with a lid and steam over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. If the water evaporates during cooking, add a little more as needed.

  6. 6

    Transfer the shumai and cabbage to a serving dish. Serve with mustard soy sauce or ponzu on the side.

  7. 7

    You can also use torn lettuce or cabbage leaves instead of napa cabbage. If you don’t have leafy greens, use parchment paper to steam the shumai.

  8. 8

    If you make traditional round shumai shapes, you’ll need about 18 shumai wrappers.
