Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 454 g Ground pork (with a bit of fat for juiciness(
  • 1/2 cup minced shrimp (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1/4 cup Carrots (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped white or black fungus mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 30-40 wonton wrappers

For dipping sauce:

  • Soy sauce
  • 1/2 Lemon slice

Instructions

  • Prepare the filling:
  • If using dried fungus mushrooms, soak them in warm water for 15-20 minutes until softened. Drain and mince.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced shrimp, carrots, green onions, minced mushrooms.
  • Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Assemble the Siomai:

  • Place a wonton on your palm. Add about a teaspoon of filling in the center.
  • Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, gently pressing to shape it into an open-top dumpling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Cook the Siomai:

  • Line a steamer with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • Arrange the Siomai in the steamer, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
  • Steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked.
