Pork and Ear Mushrooms Shumai
#mychinese #worldonplate
Shumai is one of the most popular types of traditional Chinese dumplings. We can use different kinds of filling ingredients such as ground pork or chicken, mushrooms, scallions, ginger, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, etc. seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, and Chinese rice wine. The filling is put in the center of the round shape wrapping and the border of the wrapping is loosely gathered above, forming a ‘neck’ and a flower shape top.
