Equipment

  • 1 Steamer or steaming basket
  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Plate lined with paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams ground pork
  • 100 grams shrimp peeled and chopped
  • 1 piece egg
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 20 pieces wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and add a spoonful of filling in the center.
  • Gather the edges of the wrapper to form a cup shape and press gently to seal the filling.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Steam the siomai in a steamer for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and fry until golden brown.
  • Carefully add the steamed siomai to the skillet and fry until the bottoms are crispy and golden.
  • Use tongs to transfer the fried siomai to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Let the siomai rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a more flavorful dish, consider adding finely chopped onions or water chestnuts to the filling mixture. Adjust the amount of seasoning according to your taste preference. When frying, ensure that the oil is hot enough to prevent the siomai from becoming too greasy.
