Instructions
1
Prepare the filling
Add salt, MSG, and sesame oil to the mashed potato and mashed carrot separately to season them, and set aside.
2
Make the dough
Add water to the flour and mix into a dough, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
3
Form the wrappers
Roll the rested dough into strips, divide into evenly sized portions, and use a rolling pin to roll each into a lotus-leaf-shaped shumai wrapper.
4
Add the filling
Hold a shumai wrapper in your left hand and use your right hand to scoop mashed potato filling into it.
5
Shape the dumplings
Gather the edges of the wrapper toward the center of your palm at the same time to form a vase shape with a rounded bottom and a narrow opening at the top, then place a small amount of mashed carrot at the mouth.
6
Steam
Place the raw shumai in a steamer basket and cook over high heat for 3 minutes.
