Instant Pot Siomai (Shumai)

  • Instant Pot
  • Steamer basket
  • 2 oz shrimp (peeled and chopped)
  • 4.5 oz ground chicken
  • 4.5 oz ground beef or pork
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 carrot (shredded, plus extra for garnish)
  • 3 stalks spring onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1.5 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp chicken or mushroom powder (optional)
  • 2.5 oz tapioca flour or corn starch
  • 18 pieces wonton or dumpling wrappers (preferably round and thin)
  1. Make a paste with the garlic and shallot, then combine with the ground chicken, ground beef (or pork), and shrimp.
  2. Add the salt, white pepper, and chicken or mushroom powder (if using).
  3. Stir in the oyster sauce and sesame oil.
  4. Add an egg if you like β€” it’s optional, but makes for a more tender filling.
  5. Mix in the shredded carrot and chopped spring onions.
  6. Add the tapioca flour or cornstarch and mix until the filling is thick and firm.
  7. Take about a tablespoon of the filling and place it in the center of a dumpling wrapper.
  8. Pinch the sides to form pleats, then flatten the top slightly to shape the classic siomai.
  9. Brush a little oil on the wrapper for shine, then garnish the top with a bit of shredded carrot.
  10. Add 1.5 cups of water to the Instant Pot, then set the steamer basket in place and brush it lightly with oil so the dumplings don’t stick.
  11. Arrange the dumplings in the basket with a little space between them so they don’t stick together as they steam.
  12. Press the steam button and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  13. Serve with peanut sauce or sweet chili dipping sauce.

Choose Your Meat
I’m using a combination of ground chicken, beef, and shrimp, but you can use any combination you like β€” traditional siomai is often made with pork and shrimp, or chicken and shrimp.

Egg is Optional
Adding an egg to the filling makes for a more tender dumpling, but it works just fine without it too.
