Not long ago, I was searching for a Siomai Recipe because I wanted to surprise my dear wife with her favorite Chinese dumpling. It was my favorite too but searching for a Siomai Recipe ten years ago was like my biggest problem (like looking for a needle in a haystack). It's either you buy the latest cookbook or go to the local library and look for the recipe. Nowadays, it's just a click away! Thanks to the internet evolution! Thanks to Google!
There are quite a few variations of the Siomai Recipe but most of them are prepared and cooked the same way- through steaming. Its either you choose pork as the main ingredient, shrimp meat, or chicken meat, but the most common is pork. It is also the most delicious. Siomai is best served with soy sauce and calamansi, or chili sauce (my personal favorite).
Here is a simple and easy-to-follow Siomai Recipe. Enjoy!
- 1 kg ground pork with fat
- 1/3 cup turnips (singkamas)
- 1/3 cup carrots
- 2 medium onion
- bunch of spring onions
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 50 pcs or 100 pcs siomai wrapper
- soy sauce, calamansi (lemon), sesame oil
Cooking Procedure:
- Combine all the ingredients except the water and siomai wrapper and mix thoroughly.
- Wrap the mixed ingredients with the siomai wrapper
- Use a steamer and steam the wrapped siomai for 15 to 25 minutes. The time depends on the size of each siomai (larger siomai means more time steaming).
- Serve hot with soy sauce and calamansi.
Hot Tip:
- Try serving siomai with chili sauce or sweet sauce.
