United Dumplings
Frozen Shumai (Siu Mai) [Freezer]
Good frozen shumai is hard to find. Most of what's out there is dense, bland, or falls apart the second you lift it with chopsticks. These aren't that.
United Dumplings' frozen siu mai are made the way dim sum shops actually make them — seasoned ground pork and whole shrimp folded into thin Hong Kong-style wonton wrappers, with shiitake mushroom worked into the filling for that earthy depth you notice but can't always name. Every dumpling is handcrafted. The filling is kept simple: a little soy, white pepper, a touch of sugar. Nothing that doesn't belong.
Steam them for 10 minutes and they come out juicy in the middle, with enough bounce in the wrapper that you know they were made right. No mushiness. No dry filling. Just the real thing, from your freezer.
They work for a quick weeknight dinner, a weekend dim sum spread at home, or honestly just as a snack you didn't have to think too hard about. Prep is dead simple — no thawing, no fuss. Steam straight from frozen and you're eating in ten minutes.

FAQs
What is siu mai?
Siu mai is a traditional Chinese steamed dumpling made with a thin wrapper and a pork and shrimp filling. It is an open-topped dumpling commonly served in dim sum, known for its juicy texture and savory flavor. Siu mai is a staple of Cantonese cuisine and is typically steamed and served hot.
How do you cook frozen siu mai at home?
To cook frozen siu mai, steam them directly from frozen for 8–10 minutes. Steaming keeps the wrapper tender and the filling juicy, making it the most reliable method. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can lead to uneven heating and a softer texture.
Where can I buy the best frozen siu mai online?
You can buy the best frozen siu mai online from specialty food brands and direct-to-consumer websites. United Dumplings offers frozen siu mai designed to deliver restaurant-quality dim sum at home, with a balanced pork and shrimp filling and consistent texture after steaming.
Are frozen siu mai as good as restaurant dim sum?
Frozen siu mai can be as good as restaurant dim sum when made with high-quality ingredients and proper freezing methods. Brands like United Dumplings use flash-freezing to preserve flavor and structure, allowing the dumplings to taste fresh and well-balanced after steaming.
How long can you keep frozen siu mai in the freezer?
Frozen siu mai can be stored in the freezer for up to 2–3 months. For best quality, keep them sealed and avoid thawing and refreezing, as this can affect texture and moisture. Proper storage helps maintain flavor and ensures even cooking.
What is the best way to serve siu mai at home?
The best way to serve siu mai is hot, freshly steamed, with simple dipping sauces. Soy sauce, chili oil, or black vinegar enhance the flavor without overpowering the filling. Pairing with light sides like greens or noodles creates a balanced, dim sum-style meal.
