Kampyo is long dried strips from a certain variety of gourd.
You boil them with the shiitake in a broth made with soy sauce and sweet cooking sake. Shumai is made with ground pork, onion, ground ginger, and other seasonings. You use a special wrapper (like with egg rolls), mound the meat inside, then steam them.
