My family back home love having dim sum breakfast on Sunday but we can't do it here because we have to go all the way down to Philly if want to have some and Philly is about an hour drive from home. So the best thing to do is to make it myself. It much healthier and is not too difficult to make either.Ingredients :
300 grm of ground meat (pork or chicken)
200 grm of shrimp (roughly chopped)
5 water chestnuts (diced small)
3 dry shitake mushroom (soak still soft and diced small)
2 stalk of spring onions - finely chopped
1 stalk of coriander (optional) - finely chopped
1 egg white
2 tsp of corn starch
1 tbsp of oyster sauce
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1/2 tsp of sesame oil
salt and pepper to taste
Some wanton wrappers
some green peas or carrot cubes (for garnish)
1) Combine all the ingredients together except for the wanton wrapper and mix well. Set it aside in the fridge for 30 minutes.2) Trim the wanton into round shape.
3) Put one teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper and press the wrapper up around the filling so that it almost meet at the top. Make sure the bottom is flat.
4) Press a green pea or a carrot cube into the top. Arrange the siew mai in a grease plate and steam over high heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
5) Serve warm with chili sauce.
