Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Steamer
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 tablespoon

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams fish fillet minced
  • 100 grams tapioca flour
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 100 grams cabbage leaves
  • 100 grams tofu cut into cubes
  • 4 pieces boiled potatoes quartered
  • 200 grams peanut sauce
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine minced fish fillet, tapioca flour, beaten egg, minced garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and white pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients well until a smooth dough forms.
  • Prepare the steamer and bring water to a boil.
  • Cut cabbage leaves into small pieces and place on the cutting board.
  • Fill each cabbage leaf with a spoonful of fish mixture and fold it to form a neat parcel.
  • Place the cabbage parcels, tofu cubes, and boiled potato quarters into the steamer.
  • Steam the siomay parcels and accompaniments for about 40 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove the steamer from heat and let the siomay rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve the siomay with peanut sauce and lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Ensure the fish fillet is finely minced for a smooth texture, and adjust the seasoning to taste before steaming. If you prefer a spicier siomay, add some chili sauce to the peanut sauce. For best results, serve the siomay while still warm, as the flavors are more pronounced.
