The filling is so good and perfect. Thanks for the recipe. However, my wrapper is nott so satisfying. Everytime I cook siomai the wrapper isn’t cooked so well. Could you give me some tips please? Thanks:)

Dear Mr. Vanjo,

Where could I buy bamboo steamer in Manila? I need the 12-inch as I’m planning to sell siomai.

Thanks for your kind advice.

Dear Vanjo,

Can we preserve it cooked or uncooked by freezing, whatsoever is appropriate, for future use?

Thanks
Jimmy

Thanks for being with for us all these years. I am sorry to hear about your shrimp allergy. How about making pork siomai instead?

In reply to Periwinkle.

Periwinkle, that is a valid question. To clarify, both are actually correct. You can use olive oil for greasing and you will also need to add it in the mixture. I added olive oil to the mixture to prevent the ground chicken from getting dry. Thank you for your inquiry because it helped me notice inconsistencies. The step in the recipe was updated by including olive oil.

i would like to ask regarding the olive oil. you said on the previous comment that you use the olive oil for greasing but on the video you add it to the mixture to avoid from dryness.. which is the correct one? hope to hear from you..

Do I have to wash the ground chicken with running water? My mixture is kind of watery. It’s not forming siomai. I ended up frying it without the wanton wrapper. 🙁
