A note on measurements

We work with chefs from all around the world, which is why we include both imperial (cups/ounces) and metric (grams) measurements. To achieve best results, we highly recommend that you utilize a kitchen scale and follow the metric measurements when possible.

Combine the filling ingredients in a medium bowl until blended.


Place one tablespoon of the chicken and shrimp mixture in the center of a shu mai wrapper and bring the edges up around the filling, leaving the top open. Repeat with the remaining shu mai wrappers.


Place the dumplings in a single layer on a rack in a steam, cover and steam over boilingwater for 12 minutes, adding boiling water if necessary.


Dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and sugar. Serve with dumplings.
