super easy shumai recipe with step by step pictures
How to make prawn and chicken Shumai from scratch? Super easy recipe! Swap fried items with steamy shumai this ramadhan?
Shumai, Siu Mai, or khanom cheep… Call it whatever they are but the best tasting food to my taste buds!
These little bit size open face dim sums are packed with protein and very little carbs.
We were at the noodle house a couple of weeks back and couldn’t stop ourself from ordering dim sums over dim sums!
Me And my friends are crazy about them! So I called my friends over for a shumai party! :D
Yup I know how to make them and it’s super easy!!! I’ll show you how it’s done step by step with pictures! I know how much you guys love looking at pictures. :)
So this is what it looks like.
Lets start!
Things you’ll need for the basic yellow shumai wrapper:
1 fresh egg
1 cups flour
1 cup water
1 drop Yellow food colour
1 Tsp sea Salt or to taste
To make the green tea flavor shumai wrappers you’ll need:
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup green tea (just the liquid)
1 drop Green food colour
1 tsp sea salt or to taste

Mix it until it looks like this!
Now knead, dust and roll!
:)
Knead it into a firm ball and keep adding flour to the work top.
This will avoid it from sticking to the surface.
Roll it out… Go as thin as you can! And cut into square according to your desired size. I like a mix of sizes some big, some small… Some medium!
But the truth is I failed to make them all go one size. :p
Ahan! The filling I totally forgot to show you guys how to make ! Sorry my bad!
This is really easy…
Things you’ll need
1/2 kg chicken mince
1/2 kg chopped prawns
1 can finely chopped bamboo shoot ( boiled)
6-7 finely chopped shitaki mushrooms ( soaked in water for 15 minutes)
1 cup finely chopped spring onions
1 tbsp ginger paste
1 cup corn flour ( this will keep the protein moist)
1 fresh egg for binding
2 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp white pepper
4 tbsp sesame oil
Salt to taste
This is really easy!!! In a big bowl mix everything up ! And that’s ur filling :)
I’ll continue to show you guys how to wrap it now. :)
Pinching is the key here… Just pinch the corner.
Now Steam it !
I cover the steaming plate with cabbage leaves and rub it with sesame oil to avoid it from sticking.
5-7 minutes !!! And it’s done !
Told ya! It’s super easy!
This recipe makes about 90-100 delicious shumai.
Freeze them and you’ll get to enjoy shumai the whole month…
Instead of fried samosa and deep fried pakoras steamy shumais for iftari? as ramadhan is approaching ! I promise myself not to gain more weight every year but ah well also never did made shumai all these years during ramadhan… This year should be different i suppose. ;)
Happy ramadhan coming to all my Muslim brothers and sisters! :)
