I found a pack of shumai written in Japanese in the freezer?
I don't what the hell the package is saying and I am kind of hungry right now so should I eat it? Should I risk getting food poisoning or should I do what every other man out there would do, venture beyond my boundaries and take a chance?
What should I do, Ohh the irony and suspense!
Answers:
Shumai are teardrop shaped, probably pork dumplings with cabbage, garlic and ginger. They are absolutely delicious.
What I'd do is heat a stickless pan over medium high, put a little oil in it and put all the dumplings in them flat side down. Brown them for 2 - 4 minutes. Throw in 1/2 cup of chicken stock or water and cook covered for about 10 minutes until the moisture is gone. Uncover and crisp up the bottoms, about 2 - 4 minutes.
Turn them upside down onto a plate and scarf them puppies up. They're also called 'Pot Stickers!
Yum!
