Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onion, cilantro and grated carrots.. Mix well until evenly distributed.

  • Gather the edges of the wrapper and bring them together, leaving the top of the filling exposed.

Steam

  • Make sure the water in the steamer is boiling and the steam is coming out strongly before adding the siomai. This will help the siomai cook evenly and quickly.
