Kilusan sa Jollibee: How to Make Siomai – Siomai Recipe

Siomai, a deliciously tasty dumpling. Siomai is a dimsum of Chinese origin which is loved by many Filipinos. One can make different kinds of siomai but the base is always pork. The ground meat should have some fat otherwise the cooked siomai will be too tough. Prawns or shrimps can be substituted for part of the pork if desired. Siomai is commonly eaten with a dip composed of a mix of soy sauce, calamansi extract, and chili sauce. The “Original Siomai sa Tisa”, one of my favorite, is very popular in Cebu, it comes with a siomai chili sauce, which has a spicy flavor that complements the dish, partnered with puso (hanging rice) and soft drink.
