Easy Microwave Fluffy Shumai
Thank you for 1,400 reports in the Hall of Fame! No need to wrap or steam! Easy fluffy shumai in the microwave! My younger child was overjoyed, saying it was too delicious.
The origin of this recipe
I often made shumai, but I wanted to eliminate the time spent wrapping and cleaning the steamer, so I came up with this. I remembered squid shumai and tried making it with the wrappers on the outside, and my younger child was thrilled with the result.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms and chop finely. My younger child, who dislikes mushrooms, eats them without noticing (haha).
- 2
Chop the onion finely.
- 3
In a bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and ginger paste. (Ground chicken results in a lighter, healthier dish.)
- 4
If you want more flavor in the meat, adjust by adding 1 tablespoon soy sauce and about 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon.
- 5
Mix the ground meat until it becomes sticky and stringy. I use a plastic bag over my hand to mix.
- 6
Add the tofu.
- 7
Mix while mashing the tofu. It's easier if you first mash the tofu with a whisk before mixing.
- 8
Add the shiitake mushrooms and onion, and mix.
- 9
Add the cornstarch and mix. Adjust the amount of cornstarch based on the desired consistency.
- 10
Mix everything well until combined.
- 11
Cut the shumai wrappers into thin strips, then cut them in half lengthwise and separate them. The thinner you cut them, the prettier they look.
- 12
Scoop the meat mixture with a spoon to form balls of the same size. Wet or oil your hands slightly to make it easier to shape them.
- 13
Using a curry spoon, lightly scoop to make 18 pieces. I made two plates.
- 14
Roll the meatballs over the shumai wrappers to coat them. Spread the shumai wrappers on a plate and roll the meatballs over them to coat evenly.
- 15
Arrange the shumai on a plate lined with cabbage, leaving space between them to prevent sticking.
- 16
If you don't line the plate with vegetables, the shumai will stick to the plate after microwaving.
- 17
The vegetables underneath absorb the flavor, making them delicious too.
- 18
Cover loosely with plastic wrap, leaving 1-2 small openings. If wrapped tightly, the result will be soggy.
- 19
Microwave at 800W for 4 minutes. Adjust the time based on the size and power of your microwave.
- 20
Once heated through, they're ready! Remove the plastic wrap and enjoy. Fluffy shumai that kids will love!
- 21
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the plate will be hot!

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 -

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 -
Easy Pan-fried Tomato Shumai Dumplings Easy Pan-fried Tomato Shumai Dumplings
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 -
