Cooking Instructions:

  • First, put the ground pork and the minced shrimp separately in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the minced onions, grated carrot, chopped spring onions, and garlic. Stir everything together.
  • Finally, for seasoning, add soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch mixture with brown sugar, and oyster sauce. After doing this, use your hands to combine the ingredients circularly so that the mixture receives equal coverage. When sauce is mixed with meat, add eggs and mix thoroughly.
  • Take a parchment paper (or banana leaves) and its size has to be adjusted to the size of your pot; grease it with oil. This way, the bottom of the Siomai will not stick when steaming.
  • Arrange your Siomai wrappers on a flat surface where you have a clean work area. Take a portion of one wrapper and place a round spoon about a tablespoon full of the meat mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with a bit of water and then fold the two sides together, pinching at the top so there is a gap in the middle of the filling.
  • Put the prepared Siomai in the steamer baskets, Then put them on the oiled parchment paper or banana leaves. Ensure that the Siomai does not come into contact with the others to steam properly. In the steamer, boil the water first before putting the baskets, then steam for 20-25 minutes or until it is done.
  • Once the Siomai are done the next step is to transfer them onto a serving plate and let them cool down a bit. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce!
