Shumai (Shrimp and Pork Dumplings) #MultiCookerMonday

This Shumai is tender dough wrapped around a shrimp and pork mixture and then steamed in an instant pot.  It is wonderful as part of an appetizer platter or as a component to a Chinese meal.

Shumai

We are using our small kitchen appliances today. It is Multi-Cooker Monday.......
Each month a group of us get together with our friend Sue of Palatable Pastime and share recipes that we have made using our small kitchen appliances.  Let's take a look at what everyone is sharing today.....


Chinese Food on Plate

I served these up along with some other fun Chinese foods and made a small plate dinner.  We enjoyed them with Lettuce Wraps and Vegetable Fried Rice.  It was quick, easy and satisfying.

  1. One of my dumpling books has recipes for open ones, which I had no idea existed. So cool that you can do these in an Instant Pot! Love your pork and shrimp combo.
