Home made Siew Mai
Home-Made Siew Mai
Seasoning:
1 tsp Hua diao jiu
2 tbsp light soya sauce
½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp sesame oil
2 tsp corn flour
1 egg
½ tsp white pepper
Filling:
285g minced pork
225g prawns, shelled and cut
Wrap:
115g square wanton skins
Cooking method:
1) Mix the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
2) Mix the filling ingredients together.
3) Add the seasoning and filling together, using a gloved hand to mix and mash the filling until it is evenly mixed and seasoned. The filling should resemble a meat paste.
4) Cut off the four corners of the wanton skin.
5) Place a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each skin and enclose the dumpling such that the filling is still visible from the top.
6) Brush the plate with a little oil and place the dumplings on the plate, flattening the base of each siew mai. Steam until the siew mai is cooked through.
7) Serve immediately with some chilli sauce.
