Does the pork cook when shumai dumplings are steaming?

Here's why:

* Steam penetrates the filling: The heat and moisture from the steam penetrate the thin wrapper of the shumai and reach the pork filling.

* Pork cooks quickly: Pork cooks relatively quickly compared to other meats. The high heat and moist environment of steaming ensure that the pork is cooked through.

* Internal temperature: The steam reaches temperatures high enough to cook the pork to a safe internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C).

Important note: Make sure the shumai dumplings are steamed for the recommended time to ensure that the pork is cooked through and safe to eat.
