About Sui mai

Sui Mai, also known as Shumai, are savory steamed dumplings originating from Chinese cuisine, particularly a staple in Cantonese dim sum. Typically crafted from a thin, yellow wrapper, they are filled with a mixture of ground pork, shrimp, mushrooms, and flavorful seasonings like soy sauce and sesame oil. This combination delivers a rich, umami taste and a tender texture. Although Sui Mai can be a good source of protein from the pork and shrimp, they can also be high in sodium due to the added sauces and seasonings. The wrappers contribute carbohydrates, while steaming makes them a lower-fat preparation compared to frying. Their small size makes them easy to portion, but moderation is key for managing calories and sodium intake. Variations can include healthier options such as leaner meats or plant-based fillings to align with dietary preferences. Sui Mai is a versatile and beloved part of Asian culinary traditions worldwide.
