1

Prepare the dumpling filling

In a food processor, pulse the mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and green onions until finely chopped. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Pulse again until well combined.

2

Assemble the siu mai

Take a dumpling wrapper and place a tablespoon of the mushroom filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top exposed. Gently squeeze the bottom of the dumpling to create a pleated effect. Repeat until all the filling and wrappers are used.

Steam the siu mai

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves. Arrange the siu mai in a single layer, leaving space between each dumpling. Place the steamer basket over a pot of boiling water and steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the siu mai are cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
