1 tb Soy sauce
1/4 ts Cornstarch
1 1/2 ts Sesame oil
DIPPING SAUCE:
Soy sauce Mushroom soaking liquid Sesame oil These little open-faced steamed dumplings, a popular item in dim sum teahouses, are a special treat, for you seldom see a vegetarian version. With their flowerlike appearance and savory filling, they are an attractive luncheon dish. You can use the ready-made wrappers, sold in refrigerated or frozen sections of some markets ("shu mai skins"). "Suey gow skins" or "gyoza wrappers" are too thick and will dry out during steaming. Wonton wrappers can be substituted, but trim off the pointed corners. Better yet, prepare your own wrappers according to the directions below. DIRECTIONS: =========== To prepare wrappers, combine flour and hot water. Knead a couple of minutes into a smooth dough; cover and let rest at least 1 hour. Place on a lightly floured board, and knead for 2 minutes or so.
With palms of your hands, roll it into a long, cylindrical shape, 7-1/2 inches inches long, 1 inch in diameter. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces; you will have 15. If your climate is dry, keep the dough covered. Shape these, cut-side up, into a round shape. Flatten them with the palm or heel of your hand on a flour-dusted board. With a pastry roller, small rolling pin, piece of dowel, or even an empty jar all of these should be wielded under the palm of your hand :
roll each into a round wrapper, 3-1/2 inches in diameter, thicker in the center, thinner toward the edge. This is easily done by rolling the pastry roller from the edge of the piece of dough to the center, and back again, turning the dough counterclockwise a little with your left hand after each roll. Continue all the way around several times, also turning the dough over once or twice, until you have a thin, 3-1/2 inch wrapper.
Prepare Filling A or B by combining the ingredients. Place approximately 1 tablespoon filling on the center of each wrapper. Holding the wrapper on your left fingers, encircle it from below with your right thumb and index finger, gathering the wrapper up around the filling. Squeeze gently around the middle to make a kind of neck; some of the filling should emerge at the top. The bundle should hold together securely or it will collapse during steaming. Pat the bottom with your left hand to make a flat base. If the skin is not too floppy, you can also turn the edge slightly outward (like an open flower), pinching it if necessary to make it secure. Place a layer of damp cloth in a bamboo steaming basket or on a flat, perforated race (you can use a heatproof plate if you have neither of these, but circulation of steam is somewhat impaired this way). Arrange the shao mai on it. With the rack well above the boiling water in a steamer, steam for 10 minutes (if frozen, do not defrost first). They will stick to the cloth, but if you wash and reuse the same cloth each time, they will not stick as much. Serve while still hot, before the skin hardens -- as is, or with small dipping saucers of soy sauce and mushroom liquid (from the black mushrooms), mixed in equal proportions. Add a few drops of sesame oil. Advance preparation: These can be assembled in advance, frozen, and steamed just prior to serving. * Source: The Fragrant Vegetable, by Martin Stidham * Typed for you by Karen Mintzias

14 ounces [400 grams] of peeled and deveined shrimp (Medium 41/50 per pound)
4.5 ounces [127 grams] of ground pork, 25% fat
3 pieces of shiitake mushroom, soaked and diced
1 whole egg

2 tsp of soy sauce (Amazon Link -
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the Filling
Season the shrimp with 1/2 tsp of salt and some white pepper to taste.
Reserve half of the shrimp and keep them whole for presentation. Use a cleaver to smash the other half of the shrimp one by one, then roughly grind them into a paste. Shrimp is delicate, so this won't take too long. If you don't have a cleaver, please use a meat tenderizer.
Soak the dried shitake mushrooms in water 2 hours in advance. Squeeze to eliminate the water, then dice the mushrooms finely. If you can not find dried shiitake mushrooms, replace them with fresh mushrooms, diced carrots, or water chestnuts.
Combine the shrimp, pork, mushroom, egg, scallions, and cornstarch in a big mixing bowl. Although this is a shrimp siu mai, mixing it with some pork will balance the texture and the flavor.
Season the filling with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Next, mix the filling within one direction until the paste becomes gluey and sticky, then chill it in the fridge while making the wrappers.
Make the Wrapper
Add the turmeric powder and salt to the water and stir well, then pour the mixture into the all-purpose flour slowly and mix at the same time until the water is well absorbed. A classic Cantonese siu mai wrapper has a yellow color, which comes from turmeric or food coloring. Some recipes use egg yolk, but then you will end up with extra egg white, so I recommend using turmeric.
Gather the flour and knead it for a few minutes until a rough dough forms.
Set the paster roller at the thickness setting, feed the dough through, and a rough sheet will come out. Fold the sheet and feed it through the roller again. Repeat this process 6-8 times or until the sheet becomes smooth.
Gradually lower the thickness and feed the sheet through until it becomes 1 mm thick.
Use a 3.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut the wrapper into circles. Then, recombine the scraps and feed them through the pasta roller to make more wrappers. If you don't have a paster roller, feel free to cut the store-bought wonton wrappers into circles and use them as a replacement.
Dust the wrappers with cornstarch to prevent sticking, and set them aside.
Wrap the Siu Mai and Steam
Put 1.5 tbsp of filling in the middle of the wrapper and pack it tight. Push up the edges, then use your forefinger and thumb to surround the siu mai and make it into a cylinder.
Place the siu mai in the steamer on top of parchment paper, then top it with a piece of whole shrimp and garnish it with minced carrots. Continue to wrap the rest. High-end dim sum restaurants usually will use delicate fish roes as garnish. Try it if you have access to purchase fish roes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and steam the siu mai over high heat for 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the julienned ginger, Chinese black vinegar, and soy sauce. This dipping sauce is non-spicy but is classic for all kinds of steamed dim sum.
