Chicken Shu Mai (Siu Mai)
Description
Chicken Shu Mai, also called Siu Mai, blends ground chicken thigh and diced shrimp with finely chopped black fungus or mushrooms, providing a mix of textures within each dumpling. The filling is lightly seasoned with aromatic ingredients like ginger and scallion, enriched with sesame oil and soy sauce, and bound together by cornstarch. The dumplings are wrapped in thin wonton skins folded open at the top to expose some of the filling, then garnished with green peas and tobiko to create a contrasting pop of color and subtle fishiness.
The steaming process lasts only about five minutes, producing tender and moist dumplings that maintain their shape and the distinct flavors of chicken and shrimp. These dumplings suit dim sum or appetizer servings and can be enjoyed immediately after steaming to preserve their delicate textures.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (250g) boneless and skinless chicken thigh ground
- 8 Shrimp peeled and deveined, diced into small pieces, medium
- 2 black fungus soaked in hot water and cut into thin threads, or fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon scallion white part only, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 dashes ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- wonton wrapper
- green peas and tobiko fish roes, for garnishing
Instructions
- Using a mini food processor, grind the chicken until it's coarsely ground. You can also chop it with a knife. Mix the chicken with all the ingredients and set aside in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Place about a tablespoon of filling on each wrapper, then gather the sides while leaving the center open. If desired, trim any uneven edges with scissors to make the shu mai look neater.
- Garnish the top with a green pea and some tobiko. Steam in a bamboo steamer for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
