Tonight I tried to make shu mai. well not try, I did. I got the recipe out of the eileen yin fei lo cookbook and it turned out spot on. bub mixed together the filling last night, it had shrimp, and shitake, and pork, etc. and i put it in the wrappers and steamed it. pretty easy. the most surprising ingredient it had in it was … peanut butter. but it worked and it was right. i think i will make this a familiy tradition from now on.. it was cheap and better than the dim sum restaurant in town. i am quite full right now so i am going to go lift some weights and take a walk and hopefully the fullness will pass. one note: try not to over cook it probably 12 minutes or less will do.
