After thinking what I could cook with cherry tomatoes, I decided to make easy siumai dumplings since my family loves them. And they raved about this version! It's so nice to be complimented.In Step 4, it's OK to pan fry the dumplings like you do for gyoza dumplings, but if you add about 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil at the end, the dumplings will become crispier. Stick on strips of pork on the tomato rather than wrapping it if pieces are too small. If you don't have enough pork, replace with bacon. For 20 siumai dumplings. Recipe by Renbasu

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

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.

It's well-flavored and shouldn't need soy sauce. For 40 shumai. Recipe by Celery salt

Shumai are what is called, Steamed Chinese Dumplings. In Japan, we make by using ground pork, chopped onion and when eating, we dip it into soy sauce, vinegar, karashi (Japanese mustard). Green peas are bright green, so they are used to lend color to shumai.

My uncle, who is a chef, makes these delicious shumai. They're plump and filling, like daifuku rice cakes. I've been experimenting with the recipe since learning how to make them. I recreated a version that can be made with simple ingredients on hand. It's also tasty with shrimp, shiitake, and yamaimo (yam potatoes). They're great snacks for kids or toddlers who are weaning.The only secret to this recipe is to thoroughly blend the ingredients. Scoop up the filling with a spoon and drop onto the cut wrappers; no need to mold each dumpling. The wrappers are cut up, so all you need to do is cover the filling with them. In fact, it's easier than making gyoza pot stickers or croquettes. It's a pleasurable feeling to huff and puff on the steaming dumplings while munching on them. Since they warm me up, I eat them on rainy or cold days. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by cocorarara
