Siomai is the first food i ever cooked for Itoy, my fiance. Come to think of it, for his entire clan! I brought a few dozens for their family reunion when we were barely a month together. Needless to say, I made quite a good impression (or so Itoy says).

How To Make itoy's siomai

Step 1

Pour hot water over ground meat. (I do this to slightly "cook" it.) Drain.

Step 2

Slice shrimps into itty bitty pieces, almost the size of the ground meat.
Step 3

Combine ground meat, shrimps, grated onion, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4

Add a few drops of Kikkoman soy sauce (I insist on Kikkoman!), salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5

Put a teaspoonful of the siomai mix in the center of a molo wrapper. Twist corners together.
Step 6

Steam the siomai or deep fry. Serve with chili sauce or soy sauce with lemon juice.
Step 7

Serve with wanton noodles or yang chow fried rice.
