Pork siomai is an Asian recipe which originated in China and has made its way into
countries such as the Philippines. I was first introduced to this dish by my Filipino partner.
Believe me, it is incredibly tasty. It is perfect served with a dipping sauce made by
combining soy sauce, fried garlic, and lemon juice. This is commonly called calamasi sauce.
This dish makes an excellent snack and is a perfect finger food for parties.

Method:

1. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the pork, onions, carrots, and flour. Using a
wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they are well combined. Place the mixture in
the fridge for about an hour to let the mixture firm up.
2. After an hour, remove the mixture from the fridge. Using a small ice cream scoop or a
spoon, place a tablespoon of the mixture into the center of the wrapper. Hold the
wrapper in the palm of your hand. Using your other hand, fold the edges up so they
resemble a muffin cup. Gently fold the edges in a little, and press the bottom and top
using your finger to flatten them out.

3. Prepare the steamer. I usually place some oil on the steam tray or coat it with cooking
spray to prevent the siomai from sticking to it. Place a piece of cheese cloth or a t-
towel between the lid and the pot to prevent the water from dripping into the siomai.
Allow them to steam for 20 to 25 minutes. They should appear slightly brown.
4. Remove the pork siomai from the steamer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
