Hey guys, happy Sunday! Today, I am sharing with you this Shumai Recipe. Shumai is a Chinese style snack made of simple ingredients like carrots, onion and the main ingredient is ground pork. I happened to have of these ingredients when I was trying to clean up my fridge to replenish it with new "stuff" for the next week, so I made this . It is so simple to make, and too delicious to resist. Also, PLEASE SPRAY YOUR STEAMER WITH NON STICK OIL so that the Shumai will not stick. My cousin forgot to spray them and she described her Shumai as "fail" because the wrapper stuck to the steamer.

I have not heard of Shumai, but looking at your recipe, these are easy to make, for a vegetarian version what vegetables should I use?
You can make it vegan/vegetarian. Use Zucchini and Tofu or, just Zucchine with the rest of the ingredients.. Tried it before. and it was delicious.
What a cute appetizer or snack. These would be such a big hit with our family -- they love anything Asian. I'm already making plans to pick up some won ton wraps, we already have the other ingredients.

Just make sure that you spray your steamer with non stick spray. Thank you.
