Ingredients
Method
30 mins prep12 mins cook42 mins total
Mix the pork mince, chopped prawns, spring onion, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornflour, salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
Place a wonton wrapper in your palm and add about 1 tablespoon of filling. Gather the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open, and press gently to shape the dumpling.
Arrange the siu mai in a lined steamer basket, leaving space between each one. Steam over simmering water for 10-12 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm with extra soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
Keep the filling moist but firm, and leave the tops open so the dumplings steam evenly.
