  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and white pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Take a shumai wrapper and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper and gently pleat them, leaving the top exposed. Repeat until all filling is used.

  5. Serve the shumai hot, drizzled with chili oil and garnished with fresh cilantro.
