siumay

it's a diet recipe for me lol cause it's steamed and filling lol what kind of logic is that? :p Siu mai or Siomai are steamed dumplings but with an open top. They're just so delicious that every time I go to Chinese restaurants or take out, expect me to order this as an appetizer.

ingredients:

• 400 gr ground beef
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 spring onions chopped finely
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¹⁄₂ cup mushroom, chopped into bits
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 dash ground pepper
• 1 dash salt
• 50 small wonton wrappers or 50 small dumpling wrappers

Direction:

1. Mix everything together thoroughly except the wonton wrappers.
2. Place a tablespoon of the mixture at the center of each wonton wrapper on top of your palm. Gather the edges around it, pleating it as you go, making an open flat top. Repeat with others.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the steamer by boiling water underneath it and oiling the racks.
4. Arrange the dumplings on top of the racks 1/2 inch apart and steam for about 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Serve with soy sauce or chili sauce
