Siomai, a Chinese-influenced classic in Filipino cuisine, is made by filling whole-wheat wrappers with a chicken and shrimp mixture and steaming them. Since they are not fried and use whole-grain wrappers, they make a light yet satisfying snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Filling

10 min

In a bowl, thoroughly mix the ground chicken, finely chopped shrimp, grated carrot, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt.

2

Fill the Dumplings

20 min

Place a 5 ml measure of filling in the center of each wrapper. Gather the edges upward to form an open-top pouch.

3

Steam the Dumplings

20 min

Line the steamer basket with parchment paper and arrange the dumplings on top. Cover and steam for 20 minutes.

4

Serve

5 min

Serve hot, with soy sauce on the side if desired.

Reminder

Lightly oil the bottoms of the dumplings before steaming so they do not stick to the paper. Contains gluten (wrappers), soy, sesame (sesame oil), and shellfish (shrimp).
