Chick-n-Veggies Siomai

I sooo love dumplings. I can eat siomai for lunch, dinner, and even for the next day... And because of this, I invented different siomai recipes so I won't get bored of the taste just in case I will have it for the whole week. :-D

I am now posting my first siomai recipe, I called it Chick-n-Veggies Siomai. Here's how to do it...

Ingredients:

250 grams of chicken, minced or diced (small size)

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 pc of medium onion, chopped

4 leaves of spinach (stem included), chopped

100 grams of chopped cabbage

2 pcs of prawns or shrimps, chopped

12 pcs of wonton skin/wrapper (extra thin)

1 pc of medium egg

2 teaspoons of salt (depends on your taste)

1/2 teaspoon of cracked pepper

3/4 cup of plain flour

First, you have to prepare and grease your bamboo steamer.

Combine all ingredients except the wrapper/wonton skin, of course. :-) Mix until all blended with a spoon. Place a sheet of wonton skin in your palm then put a spoonful of the mixture on the center, fold the sides of the wrapper to cover the mixture. Repeat to make more siomai.

Put your siomai to the bamboo steamer, have some space as the siomai usually expands when cooked.

Ready your saucepan or caserola, then pour four cups of water and allow it to boil for a minute. Put the steamer on top of the saucepan and wait for 20-30 minutes.

That's it! You can now enjoy your Chick-n-Veggies Siomai.

Too many siomai and you can't eat for a day? You can still enjoy it the next day as a Siomai & Prawns Soup! :-)

You just need:

1 clove of garlic, chopped

half of medium onion, chopped

2 leaves of cabbage, sliced into stripes

4 pcs of prawns

3 cups of water

6 pcs of siomai

In a sauce pan, saute the garlic, onion, and prawns. Pour the water and let it boil for 30 seconds. Add the siomai and cabbage. Simmer for 5 minutes, stir occasionally. It's so simple yet so delicious.
