Pork Siomai, also known as Shumai, has its origins in ancient Chinese courts during the Ming Dynasty. Originally served exclusively to the emperor and the imperial court, the dumplings later spread to become a popular delicacy enjoyed by the masses throughout China. As Chinese immigrants traveled to different parts of the world, they brought Pork Siomai with them, making it a beloved dim sum dish enjoyed globally. Today, this savory dumpling remains a favorite street food and a staple in dim sum restaurants, reflecting its rich history and enduring appeal in Chinese culinary traditions.

INGREDIENTS:
1 pack Wonton wrapper
1/2 kilo Ground pork
3-5 cloves Garlic
1-2 pcs Onion
1/4 cup Minced Carrot
1/4 cup Minced Water chestnut (optional)
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Ground pepper
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Flour or cornstarch
1pc Medium egg
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, diced onion, grated carrot, chopped water chestnuts, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, flour, and egg. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
Note: If you want to ensure the flavor of your siomai is to your liking, you can fry a small amount of the mixture, taste it, and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
Step 2:
Take approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture and place it in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wrap the pork mixture in the wonton wrapper. You can fold the wrapper into a triangle, bringing the corners together and pinching the edges to seal. Repeat the process until all the pork mixture is used and you have made the desired number of siomai.
Step 3:
Brush the steamer with oil to prevent the siomai from sticking to the steamer. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 4:
Arrange the prepared siomai in a steamer, making sure to leave some space between each siomai to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 5:
Steam the siomai for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers become translucent. Once cooked, carefully remove the siomai from the steamer and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve the siomai with soy sauce, calamansi dipping sauce, and chili garlic on the side. Enjoy! 💖
