Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 20 pieces Shumai or wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Carrot, finely diced (optional, for garnish)
• 500 milliliters Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until it becomes a chunky paste. Add the ground pork, wasabi paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, and cornstarch.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture gently until everything is well combined but not overly processed. The shumai filling should retain some texture.

Step 3

Prepare a steamer basket by lining it with parchment paper or lightly oiling it to prevent the shumai from sticking.

Step 4

To assemble the shumai, take one wrapper and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center. Gently fold the edges upwards, forming a cup shape, and lightly press around the filling to secure. Leave the top open and uncovered. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

If desired, place a tiny cube or piece of diced carrot on top of each dumpling for garnish.

Step 6

Bring the water to a boil in a steamer pot. Reduce the heat to medium and place the prepared shumai in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 7

Steam the shumai for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are soft and translucent.

Step 8

Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
