Assemble the Shumai
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper and pinch to form a cup shape, leaving the top open. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Steaming Option
If steaming, line a steamer basket with parchment paper and place the shumai in it. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Top with fried garlic before serving.

Frying Option
If deep frying, heat oil in a deep pan. Carefully place the shumai in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. For skewering, thread cooked shumai onto skewers with tomatoes.
