Servings:4
  • 1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 24 pieces Wonton wrappers (round)
  • 1/4 cup Bamboo shoots, finely minced
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 large Egg white
  • 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
  • 24 pieces Frozen green peas
  • 1/4 tsp White pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop half of the shrimp into chunks and process the other half in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp paste, chopped shrimp, bamboo shoots, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, egg white, green onions, and white pepper.

  3. 3

    Stir the mixture vigorously in one direction for 2-3 minutes until it becomes sticky and emulsified.

  4. 4

    Place a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and add 1 tablespoon of the filling to the center.

  5. 5

    Squeeze your hand gently to form a waist around the filling, pleating the sides of the wrapper while leaving the top open and flat.

  6. 6

    Press one green pea into the center of the exposed shrimp filling on each dumpling.

  7. 7

    Line a bamboo steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves and arrange the shumai so they are not touching.

    Steam over boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and the wrappers are translucent.
