Chef Tatung’s Tips:
- Chill ground pork properly before working with it.
- You can make shrimp flavored siomai by replacing carrots with minced shrimps and add 2 tablespoons of ginger juice.
- You can freeze your siomai and when you need some, steam directly from the freezer without thawing.
- You can make thin slices of carrots as a bed for steaming to ensure that dumplings don’t stick to the steamer or you can just oil the steamer surface.
