Simple Pork and Shrimp Shu Mai ~简单鲜肉和虾烧卖

My second will definitely order Shu Mai if we goes to a dim sum restaurant. Shu Mai is one of the most popular dim sum and it is also the all time favorite. 
This is a post together date with Fion and May but i am a day late, i hope it is not too late..lol

Shu Mai is ready to serve with some chilli sauce :D
Do you like to eat Shu Mai with chilli sauce too?
Making this simple Pork and Shrimp Shu Mai is quite straight forward and simple. All that need to do is mince the pork in a food processor till it is fine. Rough chop up the wash and pat dry shrimp. Add in salt, wheat starch, sugar and sesame oil. mixed them with a pair of chopstick till it is gluey. 
Get ready the pork and shrimp filling, some wanton wrappers and we are ready to start!
Add 1 tsp full of pork and shrimp filling onto a piece of wanton wrapper.
Shape it in between your thumb and finger
Shu Mai are nicely seated in the steaming rack, ready to steam.
Garnish with some chopped carrots before sending to steam.
Simple Pork and Shrimp Shu Mai ~简单鲜肉和虾烧卖
Recipe adapted from 'Mircowave Cuisine' by Sharp
Makes 25 small shu mai (1 mouth size)

Ingredients:
350g minced pork and fat (i use 70pork/30fat)
200g shrimps
25-28 Wanton Wrapper

Seasonings:
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp wheat starch
1 tsp Sesame oil
pepper to taste 
1 tbsp water (i added)

To Do:
1. Remove shells from shrimps and marinate with salt (1/2 tsp) then rinse and pat dry. Roughly chop with the back of a knife.

2. Mix treated shrimps, minced pork and fat with seasonings well.

3. Take out 2 tsp of mixed ingredients from above and fold into a Wanton wrap.

4. Put 4 to 7 prepared dumplings (shu mai) into a bamboo steaming rack which lined and greased with holes parchment paper. (Just cut parchment paper and punch holes on it; to fit in the size of your bamboo steamer; the holes in the parchment will prevent water vapour from accumulating in the bamboo steamer) 

5. Steam over boiling water for 8 minutes.

6. Serve hot with chilli sauce. 

Pipping hot Shu Mai is ready to be serve!
Enjoy~

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
