Siu Mai is a yum cha favourite — juicy, savoury, and perfect with soy sauce or chilli oil. With Lian Huat Wonton Pastry, you can make them easily at home without needing special round wrappers.
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pack Lian Huat Wonton Pastry (25 pieces)
- 300g pork mince
- 150g prawn meat, finely chopped
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ½ tsp sugar
- Pinch of white pepper
- Carrot, finely grated (for garnish)
Method
Make the filling: In a bowl, mix pork, prawns, spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, and pepper until well combined.
Shape the siu mai:
- Place 1 wonton wrapper on your palm.
- Add 1 heaped teaspoon of filling in the centre.
- Gather the wrapper sides up around the filling, leaving the top open.
- Press gently to form a little “cup” shape.
Steam: Place siu mai in a lined bamboo steamer (or on a steaming rack). Steam over boiling water for 8–10 minutes, until cooked through.
Garnish & serve: Top each siu mai with a tiny bit of grated carrot for colour. Serve hot with soy sauce or chilli oil.
