How to eat shumai and what to eat with it
Because shumai is so flavorful and tasty as they are, you can totally enjoy them on their own without any dipping sauce. But if you’re a sauce person, we recommend dipping in some Chinese black vinegar or chili oil, or a combination of both. Some people also like to add very finely julienned (sticks) ginger to their vinegar. Also, do enjoy the shumai while they are hot for the best flavor, juiciness, and texture!
How to cook shumai:
1. Boil water. Add about 1 inch of water into a wok or a pot large enough to sit the steam basket over. Bring the water to to a boil.
2. Arrange shumai in steam basket. Meanwhile, place the shumai in the prepared steamed basket lined with perforated parchment, making sure there is at least ½ inch of space between each.
3. If garnishing with peas or finely diced carrots. Go ahead and place a small amount of the carrot or one pea at the center of each shumai.
4. Steam the shumai. When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to keep the water at a high simmer. Place the steam basket over the water and cover with lid. Allow the shumai to steam until the filling is cooked through, about 10 minutes for freshly made ones or 13 to 14 minutes for frozen ones. Once cooked, remove the basket off the heat.
5. If garnishing with roe. Place small amounts of roe at the center of each shumai once they are cooked and off of the heat.
