In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, diced shiitake mushrooms, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, and salt. Mix vigorously in one direction for several minutes until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky.
Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. Gently cup the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open. Use your thumb and index finger to pleat the sides, forming a small 'basket' shape.
Garnish the top of each siu mai with a generous amount of crab roe.
Arrange the siu mai in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper or greased surface, ensuring they do not touch each other. Steam over high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
Serve hot immediately with chili oil or soy sauce.
