Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the shrimp is ground too finely, its characteristic springy texture will disappear, so be sure to crush it coarsely so that bits remain.
  • When checking the seasoning of the dim sum filling, Chef Jung Ji-sun's tip is not to taste it directly, but to adjust by smelling the aroma and color of the seasoning as it blends in.
  • After finishing the filling, chilling it in the refrigerator makes it stickier and much easier to shape and wrap in the skins.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the full flavor of springy shrimp and savory pork in every bite.
  • Those looking for a visually impressive and unique Chinese menu item for entertaining guests.
  • Those who want to make authentic-style shaomai at home with the appealing crunch of bamboo shoots.
