Shumai with Ground Pork and Five Grain Rice
- 300 grams Ground pork
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 piece Ginger
- 10 cm Japanese leek
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 dash Pepper
- 1 tsp XO sauce
- 1 tsp Dried scallop soup powder
- 1 tsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Katakuriko
- 75 grams Five grain rice
- Rinse the five grain rice lightly and drain in a sieve.
- Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Finely chop the Japanese leek, the garlic, and the ginger.
- Use whatever fatty cuts of ground pork you prefer.
- Add all the seasonings in the ground pork and mix well.
- It's okay if you don't have XO sauce or oyster sauce.
- Dried scallop soup powder can be replaced by Chinese soup stock.
- Coat your hands with the sesame oil (not included in ingredients), and shape the mixture into bite size balls.
- I could make 12 meatballs this time.
- Coat the meatballs with the five grain rice (usually, you'd use mochi rice).
- Firmly press the five grain rice into the meatballs.
- The rice will fall off while steaming if it's not pressed on.
- Place the meatballs on cabbage leaves, on Chinese cabbage leaves or on a sheet of parchment paper in the steamer.
- Steam for 20 minutes.
- It looks like this while steaming!
