Ingredients:

Serving

24 round wonton skins
10 oz lean ground beef
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp frozen green peas, thawed (about 24)
1 1/2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup dashi

Directions:

Stir together ground beef, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, sugar sesame oil and cornstarch in a bowl, until the mixture becomes very sticky.
Divide mixture into 24 parts.
Holding tips of index finger and thumb together, place a wonton skin on top and top the skin with a portion of the meat.
Gently press the meat into the hole made by your fingers coming together to get the wrapper to come around the sides of meat.
Gently flatten the bottom of the shu mai.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and meat.
Place a pea in the center of the meat on each shu mai and top the meat with a thin coating of oil.
Place shu mai in a steamer basket and steam for 12-14 minutes over high heat.
To prepare dipping sauce, Combine mirin, soy sauce and dashi in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
Boil mixture for 1-2 minutes then allow to cool.
