I normally eat pork and shrimp siomai from a local fast-food. Hubby got curios of its taste. He doesn't eat pork so to bring the taste at home, I decided to create this family recipe.
This recipe requires shrimps but then again, hubby doesn't like shrimps so I omitted it. To those of you who wants a tastier siomai, feel free add chopped shrimp to the mixture. Or, you may also substitute pork or beef instead of chicken. Whatever you like.. just experiment! :)
Ingredients:
- 300 grams of ground chicken
- 1 small carrot, peeled & finely grated
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 thumb-sized ginger, peeled & grated
- 3 stalks of spring onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 small egg, beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- medium-sized siomai wrappers
- 1/2 cup minced shrimp
- 2 tsps sesame oil
For the Sauce:
- 3 tbsps soy sauce
- 1 tbsp calamansi juice
- 1 tsp chilli paste
Cooking Procedure:
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Get a teaspoonful of siomai mixture, form it into a ball.
- Put the ball at the center of a wrapper, then gather the edges together.
- Repeat the same process with the remaining mixture.
- Steam in briskly boiling water for 30 minutes.
- Serve with a mixture of soy sauce, calamansi juice, and chilli paste.

Note: To avoid your siomai from sticking, line your steamer with some vegetable leaves.
Yield: Makes about 20 pieces of yummy siomai.
