Siomai Pinoy Recipe

Its now rainy season and we tend to stay at home with our families. We try to make ourselves warm and relax.  So here's something we would like to share with you which you can make while you are at home. The recipe of Siomai.

This dimsum is originally made by Chinese and it was love by Filipinos. You could see every corner here in Manila eating Siomai. So we decided to make it at home. It was last week and its kinda good and it wasn't that hard to make some. 

Below is the recipe for Siomai we have listed.

Ingredients:
 
2 ½ lbs ground pork
1 cup shrimp, minced
2 cups water chestnuts, minced
5 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 cup onion, minced
1 cup carrots, minced
1 ½ cups white mushroom, minced
1 pack won ton wrapper
¼ cup scallions, minced
2 tsp salt
1 piece raw egg
water for steaming
 
Procedures:
1. Combine all the ingredients except for the water and wanton wrapper and mix thoroughly.
2. Wrap the mixed ingredients using the won ton wrapper.
3. Using a steamer, steam the wrapped siomai for 15 to 25 minutes. The time depends on the size of each individual piece (larger size means more time steaming).
4. Serve hot with soy sauce and calamansi or lemon dip. Share and enjoy!
