Ingredients

1/2 lb tiger prawns or shrimps
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3/8 tsp oil (optional)
1/2 lb ground pork
2 tbsp unsalted chicken stock
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp shaoxing wine
2 tsp regular soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 stalk green onions
2 slices ginger
1 1/2 dried shiitake mushrooms
22 round wonton wrappers

Steps

Soak the dried mushrooms in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and chop them.
Chop the prawns and mix them with 1 teaspoon cornstarch, the salt, and the optional oil.
Combine the pork, stock, remaining cornstarch, wine, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, sugar, green onions, ginger, and mushrooms in a bowl.
Fold the shrimp mixture into the pork mixture until evenly combined.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in each wrapper, gather the wrapper edges around the filling, and leave the top open.
Arrange the shumai in a steamer basket over simmering water and steam for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pork reaches 160 F.
