Conveniently Serves Family Size Portion

Ingredients:

1 kilo ground pork

1 kilo ground beef (optional)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 large carrot, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

3 tbsps of soy sauce

2 tbsps of fish sauce

1 large egg, beaten

salt and pepper

1 tsp sugar

a pack of 100 pcs. wonton wrappers (round is better used than square ones although it still can work the same)

PROCEDURE:

1) In a large mixing bowl, mix the following: Ground Pork or beef or you can also put together at the same time, soy sauce, fish sauce, carrots, onions, garlic, egg, salt and pepper and the sugar. Also before I forgot you can also use ground shrimp or chicken.

2)Mix all the ingredients well.

3) Afterwhich you prepare the wonton wrappers to be filled with the mixture that you made earlier.

4) Before you prepare for the wontons, prepare to boil water for steaming.

5) When making the Shumai, place the round or square shaped wrapper on top of your index finger and thumb. Push the wonton slowly until it looks like a tiny basket. Fill it up with a teaspoonful of the pork mixture and slowly crimp the wonton on the sides, forming it like a flower. Pinch and pull up and then place it on a clean plate. Repeat the same process with the rest of the wontons.

6) You can now place the wontons on the steamer basket and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes. You will know its done when you see that the pork or beef  is not pinkish anymore.

7) Served well with dipping sauce: Soy sauce with chopped onions, ginger and garlic.

Bon Apetit!
