Ingredients

½ lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ lb. ground pork
3 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp grated ginger
½ tsp salt
2 pinches ground white pepper
2 tsp Shaoxing wine
25 round wonton wrappers
½ carrot, finely minced

Instructions

Mince the shrimp by flattening each piece with the side of a knife, then roughly chopping each one.
Mix the shrimp and the ground pork.
Add the sesame oil, cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, salt, pepper, and
Shaoxing wine to the shrimp and pork. Combine thoroughly.
Make an “O” with your thumb and index finger. Place one wonton wrapper on the “O” and gently press it down to create a small cup.
Using a tsp, fill the wonton cup to the top with some pork and shrimp mixture. Use the back of the tsp to press the filling into the cup.
Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper liners or napa cabbage leaves. Arrange the shumai on top of the liners or leaves.
Top each shumai with a bit of minced carrot.
Steam for 10 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
