I have always wondered if i could ever make pinoy-style siomai on my own. I have always loved siomai even as a kid, that i often prod my dad to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant every Sunday. Fast forward to today, I came up with an easy pork siomai recipe.
While it is devoid of shrimp and mushrooms, and the mini bamboo steamers we have all been accustomed to, I want to have a version that could at least satisfy my craving anytime. A ready meryenda in the freezer for the family, or even a quick ulam I could steam along with rice for those busy days. It can also be a great baon for your school kid.
So as what I always say, I am just suggesting baseline seasoning levels. It is up to you to season it to reach your taste preference level. What I do really is after mixing up all the ingredients, i fry a bit, taste it and adjust seasoning as needed. You can use soy sauce to up the saltiness level of you wish.
So without further ado, here’s —

3. Once you are fine with the taste, you can now start wrapping your siomai. We have different ways of wrapping siomai, and I will not claim that I am good at this.

My daughter and I watched Youtube video guides so we can learn wrapping techniques. Pero nahiya naman ako because my eldest even wraps better. Me, I use my palms, she on the other hand wraps it on top of the plate. She wrapped most of the siomai! After wrapping, put a piece of carrot on top of each siomai.

If you will not be steaming everything at once, you may keep the remaining siomai in a vacuum sealed container and freeze. When ready, just thaw and steam accordingly.
One of the reasons why I wanted to make homemade siomai, is that I could have siomai ready anytime for merienda or quick meals.

The amount of mixture can make up to 36 siomai pieces. You will not spend more than P180.00 for this except if you do not have sesame oil, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in your pantry.
