Steamed Meat Dumplings/Siew Mai is a staple item in Dim Sum Restaurants. It's fairly easy to make from scratch. However, we’re using packaged wonton wrappers to save time. If you wish to make your own wrappers, the recipe is included in the Notes section. The base of Siew Mai is meat. Use any meat of your choice (pork, chicken, beef, lamb) as long as it's minced. Recommended meat to use is chicken/pork. It’s a must to add the prawn meat for texture and taste.

This dish is a crowd pleaser and a favorite among old and young for its sweet, salty, spicy(adjustable to your preference) and fragrant taste. Stewed in palm sugar (gula melaka) and coconut water, the tender chunks of meat are a delight to eat with rice or bread together with a side dish of pickles. We used boneless skinless pork shoulder here but it will taste good with beef or chicken as well. Try the RECIPE and enjoy!
