Shumai is a Chinese dumpling adopted into Japanese diet. They often are made with minced pork, and served as a part of dim sum. We serve shrimp shumai at Maeda Sushi. We grate the high quality tiger shrimps and carefully round into bite size balls. Steaming, of course, is a very healthy way to cook (no oil used), but it also helps packing the flavor into the pieces, shumai comes out perfectly moist, juicy out of the steamer. The shreded skin provides a unique texture. We place five big pieces on our fallen leaf ceramic plate and serve with soy-Japanese mustard mix. It started out as a special, but it has been so popular, it will be in the permanent menu very soon.
