Pork, Scallop & Glutinous Rice Shumai
Ingredients
- Wonton/Shumai wrappers - 30 sheets
- Glutinous rice - 250g
- Ground pork - 300g (pork belly works best for extra flavor)
- Shiitake mushrooms - 5–6
- Black fungus (wood ear mushrooms) - a handful
- White onion - half a small one
- Dried scallops - a handful
- Optional: green peas or bell peppers for garnish
Steps
1. Soak the rice: Rinse glutinous rice and soak it in water overnight. In hot weather, refrigerate while soaking.
2. Marinate the pork: Mix ground pork with 2 slices of ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Let it marinate ahead of time for better flavor.
3. Prepare all ingredients: Rinse all mushrooms, wood ear, and dried scallops. Drain the soaked glutinous rice.
4. Chop finely: Mince all ingredients into small pieces.
5. Stir-fry the filling: Heat oil, then stir-fry onion, mushrooms, wood ear, dried scallops, and pork. Add the glutinous rice, soy sauce, and salt. Cook until rice is fully cooked.
6. Steam the filling: Transfer to a plate and steam for 20 minutes.
7. Assemble the shumai: Let the filling cool slightly until warm. Roll out wrappers and fill with the mixture, shaping into shumai.
8. Steam the shumai: Line the steamer tray with a steaming cloth, arrange shumai on it, and steam for 7 minutes. After steaming, wait 3 minutes before opening the lid and serving.
Tips
Add peas or bell peppers as garnish after steaming for a more colorful presentation.
