Siew Mai by Dolly Lee‎


(Makes 50)

Ingredients

200g lean pork (dinely diced)
80g pork fats (finely diced)
250g shelled prawns (finely diced)
15g mushroom (finely diced)
50 pcs siew mai wrappers

Seasoning

1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp msg (optional)
2 tsp fine sugar
2 tsp cornflour

Method

1. Mix ingredients and seasoning.
2 Place portion of fillings on wrapper and fold up around the sides.
3. Steam over high heat for about 10 mins.

Note: I used minced pork. As I asked for some fats in the minced pork, I reduced the pork fat to 40g. I bought the round shaped wanton wrappers. I only made 20 pcs, each with about 2 Tbsp fillings. Size is bigger than what you would normally get from stalls. As its bigger, I steamed the siew mai for 15 mins. I used finely diced carrots for decoration.

Next attempt I will add more cornflour as the fillings was abit crumbly. My brother thinks that if I make them smaller, then there's no need to add cornflour as they will be eaten whole.
