I've been craving shumai lately, but the ones from street vendors are too greasy, so I decided to make a lighter version at home! Now I can enjoy a few more without any guilt.

Steps

1

Soak the shiitake mushrooms until soft, then finely chop them along with the water chestnuts.
2

Mix all the ingredients together, add the seasonings, and combine to make the filling. Wrap the filling in shumai wrappers.
3

Steam over boiling water for 20–25 minutes. Be careful, as the shumai wrappers can stick together.
