173. Pomegranate-Shaped Dumplings (Shaw Mai), Beijing Style.

4 1/2 cups (500 g) flour, sifted                     
1 tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
2 egg whites                                      
1 tbsp rice wine
1 lb (500 g) lean boneless pork, beef or other meat, diced       
2tspsalt, or to taste                              
3 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
5 oz (150 g) cooked meat, diced                   
3 1/2 oz (100 ml) sesame oil
3 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil or lard                     
7 oz (200 ml) stock
3 1/2 oz (100 g) canned bamboo shoots, diced      
1 tsp MSG
1 tsp shrimp eggs
 
1. Mix flour with egg whites and water to make a firm dough, following the directions for Recipe 170, "Sauteed Dumplings, Henan Style." Divide the dough into 50 portions and roll each into a circle 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter. Stack 10 fine pieces, one on top of the other. Flour lightly between each of the ten pieces. Press the end of the rolling pin into the dough circularly to make 1 inch (25 mm) long marks (see Illustration I), and separate them to avoid sticking.
 
2. Heat the oil or lard in a wok until the oil surface ripples. Add the cooked meat and bamboo shoots and stir-fry briefly. Add the shrimp eggs, ginger, I tsp of the rice wine, 1 tsp of the salt, and 1/2 tsp of the MSG. Continue to stir-fry 1 minute. Remove and cool. Mix the uncooked meat with the remaining 1/2 tsp of MSG, 1 tsp of the rice wine, 1 tsp of the salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and a little water. Add the bamboo shoots and cooked meat. Mix well. Divide the filling into 50 portions.
 
3. Take a pastry circle and place 1 portion of the filling in the center. Pull up the edges of the pastry around the filling to make a cylinder, leaving the top open so the filling is visible and the dumpling resembles a pomegranate (see Illustration II). Repeat until all the dumplings are made.
 
4. Place the dumplings in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes over high heat. Sprinkle with the stock and continue to steam until' cooked through. Remove and serve.
