Steps

1

Combine the store-bought shrimp and squid paste with all the seasonings. Mix until the filling becomes sticky.
2

Form a circle with your index finger and thumb, place a wonton wrapper on top, and spoon in about 20 grams (about 3/4 ounce) of filling. Push the filling down into the wrapper to shape it like shumai.
3

Gently shape the shumai and arrange them on a steamer tray lined with parchment paper. Top each with a small dried shrimp or goji berry for decoration.
4

Place a steaming rack and the steamer tray in an electric rice cooker. Add 1 cup of water to the outer pot, turn on the cooker, and steam until cooked through.
