About Scallop siu mai

Scallop Siu Mai is a delectable dim sum dish originating from Cantonese cuisine, blending tradition with sophistication. These small, open-faced dumplings are crafted from a thin wheat wrapper and generously filled with a mixture of minced scallops, shrimp, and sometimes ground pork for added richness. Topped with a whole scallop or roe as a garnish, they are steamed to perfection, offering a delicate seafood flavor and tender texture. Scallops are a low-calorie source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to heart health and muscle maintenance. However, Siu Mai may contain added salt and starches, so moderation is key. Typically served as part of a larger meal, Scallop Siu Mai exemplifies the balance of indulgence and nutritional value in traditional Asian cuisine. They are a flavorful choice for dim sum lovers looking to enjoy seafood in a bite-sized format.
