Siomai are Chinese dumplings that are loved by us, Pinoys. Variety of main ingredients can be used for siomai. Pork, shrimp, chicken, beef or combination of either of these will greatly give a tasty outcome for this recipe. I personally love pork siomai from Philippines but since pork is not always present in our fridge I became used to have beef for siomai. Below is my simple recipe of siomai. Enjoy!

2. Wrap the mixed ingredients using the won ton wrapper.
3. Steam the wrapped siomai for 15 to 25 minutes. The time depends on the size of each individual piece.
