2-tones Shumai

I was inspired by a Chinese Cooking site www.sbar.com.cn for this colorful Dim Sum. You may use my Treasure Purses recipe as the filling, or you can mix your own. It's better for decorating your dish than tasting.
Ingredients for the wrappers: (makes 8 pcs)
  • 1/2 cup wheat starch
  • 2 Tbsp. corn starch
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 Tbsp. Lard
  • Food color (caution: the color will turn darker after steam)
Make it:
  • Combine all ingredients together and knead to a dough. Then, evenly divide into two smaller doughs and add a drop of food color in one of the dough. Knead until color blended.

  • Divide each dough into 8 pcs. and make wrappers as shown in the pictures.
  • Lightly spray non-stick cooking oil on a bamboo steamer before place 8 shumai on it. Steam over the boiling water for 5 minutes. For better tasting, serve warm or hot.
