Steamed Shao Mai

9 comments
Just a short post. Yesterday I also made steamed shao mai besides prawn and chives dumplings. It was a very pleasing and easy cooking process for me, because I didn't have to make the shao mai skins myself - I used ready made gyoza skins.




I wanted to make my shao mai looking like the ones from Din Tai Fung, a popular dumpling restaurant chain from Taiwan, because I think that they just look quite unique (for shao mai). The look of my shao mai turned out to be a far cry from the Ding Tai Fung shao mai, I guess it's also because the dumpling skins were too thick (I should try wonton skins next time), although I have no complain about how they taste. I nevertheless still think that my shao mai look cute, even though they look more like a slightly opened, thick-skinned xiao long bao ;-).

Ingredients
