Take a shumai wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper and pleat them around the filling, leaving the top exposed. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Steaming
- 3
Steam the Dumplings
Prepare a steamer by boiling water in a pot. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the filled shumai in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching. Cover and steam for about 8-10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and the shrimp turn pink.
