Shumai are technically pork dumplings, but we take off the wrapper so you can appreciate the uninterrupted glory of ginger-soy-infused pork. The meatballs are seared to give a smoky char, then finished off in the oven. They’re served up with a side of rice and garlic-sautéed snap peas for a fresh, healthier take on classic pork shumai. Tip: If snap pea string is hard to find and remove, make a very thin cut lengthwise along the string.

I can totally see why the test kitchen loves this! OMG, this rocks! I've run out of my "Top 5" recipes with you so now I have a "Top Ten!!" This goes right to the head of the pack. Home Chef consistently knows how to do Asian right!! I had never had Ponzu before, and when I sampled it, I couldn't imagine how this would work. It was awesome! Worked perfectly with the sweetness of the pork and peas. The seasoning in the meatballs was to die for. Will definitely be making this one again!!

These meatballs were great. The ginger in the meat mixture added that extra level of flavor that made them even better. The peas were very good as well

Couldn't have enough of it. Didn't believe I cooked this!

This Asian dish was very flavorful with the pork and spices. Would order again if available!

Very yummy! Everyone in the family enjoyed it.
