How to make Chicken Siomai
Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped shrimp (if using), mushrooms, onions, and garlic.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stir in the cornstarch or flour to help bind the mixture.
Wrap the Siomai
Place a siomai wrapper on a clean surface.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Gather the sides of the wrapper and gently press them together around the filling, leaving the top exposed. You can also use a siomai mold for a uniform shape.
Steam the Siomai
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Place the wrapped siomai in the steamer basket, leaving space between each piece.
Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the siomai is firm.
Serve
Serve hot with soy sauce, calamansi (or lemon), and chili sauce for dipping.
Tips & Tricks
For a more flavorful siomai, marinate the filling mixture for at least 30 minutes before wrapping.
If you don't have a steamer, you can use a large pot with a steaming rack.
