Shaomai is similar to steamed dumplings, but there are some differences in appearance. Many people think that it is difficult to roll roasted skin. Of course, it would be easier if there were professional tools! If you don't have a special tool, find a way yourself. One of my older sisters is also very interesting in making steamed dumplings. She just folds the rolled dumpling skins with more flour and then folds them in half, and then squeezes the edges of the dumpling skins with her hands, so that the skirt edges are formed. It's also very nice. The steamed dumplings I made are even simpler. The rolled dumpling skins can be pushed and rolled around the edges. The steamed dumplings are what you see, and you can eat them without tools.
The prawns in autumn are really fat! I bought a lot of big and small ones and stuffed them in the refrigerator and kept them to eat slowly. The shrimp we used today is quite small, and the shrimp and spinach taste very delicious! This is the first time I have used spinach as stuffing. It's really delicious. The steamed dumplings were quickly wrapped, like small flowers in full bloom, small flowers blooming in a steamer!
