Shumai (Shumai) - Shumai (English spelling) shao mai

Japanese: シューマイ(焼売) - シューマイ（英語表記）shao mai

A type of Chinese dim sum. Made by adding water to wheat flour, kneading it, stretching it thinly, putting the filling inside the skin, wrapping it up and steaming it. The filling includes minced pork, onion, scallion, Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, ginger, garlic, etc., as well as starch mixed in to absorb the water. It is eaten hot after steaming, dipped in kneaded mustard seeds and vinegar soy sauce. Strong flour is used for the skin, and adding egg white or oil to the water makes it easier to stretch and prevents it from hardening over time.
