Experience the ultimate luxurious dim sum dish with these exquisite steamed dumplings filled with fragrant shiitake mushrooms and drizzled with truffle oil.

Steps

In a skillet, sauté the shiitake mushrooms and garlic until tender. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Place a spoonful of the mushroom filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, then fold and pleat to seal.
Arrange the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 8-10 minutes until the wrappers are translucent.
Remove the dumplings from the steamer and drizzle with truffle oil.
Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips for Truffle Shiitake Dumplings

Aim for a moist, cohesive filling rather than a watery one; excess moisture can make wrappers slippery and harder to seal.
Keep unused wrappers covered while shaping so their edges do not dry out and crack.
Avoid crowding the steamer: dumplings can stick together and cook unevenly if packed tightly.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp bubbles complement the savory mushrooms and keep the truffle oil from feeling too rich.

Storage

Refrigerate cooked leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and eat within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the wrappers may become softer after storage.
