Ingredients
Serves approx 15-20
- 2oz / 50 g Shrimp
- 4.5oz / 125 g Ground chicken fillet
- 4.5oz / 125 g Ground beef or pork
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 shallot
- 1 carrot, shredded + for garnish
- 3 spring onions, chopped finely
- 1 Tsp Salt
- ½ Tsp white pepper
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1-2 Tsp sesame oil
- ½ Tsp Chicken/Mushroom powder (optional)
- 2-2.5oz / 50-75 g tapioca flour/Corn starch
- 15 -20 pc wonton/dumpling wrappers, preferably round and thin, but I use square ones too.
Method
- First make a paste of garlic and onion,
- Combine with all the meat.
- Add salt, white pepper, and mushroom powder/Chicken powder,
- Add some oyster sauce
- Add a little bit of sesame oil (you can use soy sauce if you don’t have oyster sauce and add sugar)
- Add an egg, but it’s optional. I just find that if you do, then you will get a more tender dumpling.
- Add carrot
- Add green onion
- Mix together.
- Then add tapioca flour or cornstarch (It is going to help absorb the liquid that is in there, to make sure it’s not too runny and also I think it helps with the texture and gives a little sort of bounciness
- Mix all this up, until it becomes thick & firm.
Make The Dumplings
- So, to make this dumpling, we need some shumai or dumpling wrappers. And to make it easy so we will use some store-bought wrappers. (Who has time to make these anyway, right) I like to use round ones, because these work better for the traditional siomai shape,
- Now, take about a tablespoon of this mixture (but you can make this as big or small as your wrappers) Then shape it by pinching on the side to get these little pleats, close it up and flatten the top part a bit.
- Sometimes I like to add a bit oil on the wrapper to make it shiny and stick better, and when you done, garnish it with a bit of carrot.
- Then steam them. I am using my favorite instant pot the bella pro series, (this video is not sponsored, I WISH!) 🙂 I love this instant pot because it has so many options for cooking and it is super quick too, it has pressure cook, air fry, slow cook, bake and many more
- Add 1.5 cups of water to the bottom pan then add the steamer basket and brush with a little oil so the siomai won’t stick to the pot.
- Make sure you give them some room, because they will expand a little bit and puff up and we don’t want them to get stuck together.
- Press the steam button and cook for about 8 – 10 mins
Voila
