Japanese Shumai
Cheating version of Shumai because it is steamed on Frying Pan, not with the official bamboo steamer!
- 400 gram 1/2 ground beef, 1/2 ground pork mixed
- 1 small piece Grated Ginger
- 1/2 each minced onion
- 2 tbsp Corn Starch
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Cooking Sake
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 12 pieces Wonton Wrap
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
-
Mix the minced onions with a dash of cooking oil, salt, and pepper. Cover lightly then microwave them for 15 seconds. Set aside.
-
Mix the ground beef and ground pork very well till becomes sticky. Add the seasonings of grated ginger, corn starch, soy sauce, cooking sake, sesame oil and cooked onions. Mix well. Make 12 meatballs and place them onto the cookie sheet.
-
Place one piece of wonton wrapper onto one meatball, and repeat till all 12 meatballs are covered. Then using your fingers, press the wrapper around the meatballs to create the Shumai shape. Press the top portion to make them flat.
-
Pour the frying oil in the pan, then place all the shumai pieces in. Pour 3 tablespoon full of water into the pan, and place a lid. Cook in low heat for about 8 mins.
Turn them upside down to cook the bottom of shumais for about 3 mins to brown them.
Serve them with soy sauce with small amount of ground mustard mixed together.
