Steamed Pork Dumplings (Siu Mai)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine pork, salt, sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and corn starch and mix well until it turns into a paste.

2. 2

   Add mushrooms and shrimp and mix to combine.

3. 3

   To make Siu Mai, form an “C” with you index finger and thumb and place a wonton wrapper over it. Add 1-2 tsp of filling and push down on the “C” while rotating with your fingers to get a evenly round shape. Then use a knife to smear more filling and level to the edge of the wonton. Push down to flatten the base and shape into a round.
