Method
Dumpling Wrapper Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water, stirring until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
Filling Preparation

Prepare the Filling
In a food processor, add the raw shrimp, ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Pulse until a paste-like consistency is achieved, making sure not to over-process.

Fill the Wrappers
Take a dumpling wrapper, place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center, and fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal and pleat as desired.
Cooking and Serving

Steam the Shumai
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper. Place the shumai in the steamer, making sure they are not touching. Steam over simmering water for about 10-12 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.

Make the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Serve
Remove the shumai from the steamer and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
