about 3 dozen wonton or gyoza (round if possible) wrappers
(to allow for breakage)
cooking spray
Soak mushrooms in boiling water for 30 minutes, or until soft. Drain, squeeze
dry, remove tough stems and chop fine. Combine with pork, soy, sherry,
sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sugar.
Carefully place 6 wrappers on a flat, dry work surface. Place a heaping tea-
spoon of filling in the centre of each wrapper. Using both hands, gather up the
sides to form pleats, make a quarter turn and gently pinch up sides; the tops
will be open and filling will show through. Pinch slightly in the middle to form a
"waist," pressing down filling on the top; the excess dough will fall over like
flaps. Tap the bottom so that the shu mai can stand up. Keep prepared
dumplings covered with a slightly damp cloth.
To steam the shu mai, place the steamer rack in the Cuisinart
add 3 cups (750 ml) water to the wok and cover. Heat wok to 400ºF (200°C)
and bring water to a boil. Cut three 12-inch (30 cm) round pieces of parchment
paper and lightly coat with cooking spray. Place 1 parchment sheet on a plate
and top with about 10 dumplings. Place plate on top of rack and immediately
reduce heat to 250ºF (120°C). Steam for about 9 minutes or until pork is fully
cooked.
Carefully lift plate from rack, remove dumplings, transfer to a serving plate and
keep warm. Add water to wok if necessary. Repeat steaming process with
remaining shu mai. Serve with dipping sauce (recipe follows).
