About Siew mai
Siew Mai, also spelled Siu Mai or Shumai, is a classic dim sum dish originating from Cantonese cuisine. These flavorful dumplings are typically made with a filling of ground pork, shrimp, and minced vegetables, wrapped in thin wheat-based wrappers and steamed until tender. Characterized by their iconic open-topped design, Siew Mai is often garnished with a touch of roe or diced carrot. With high protein content from the pork and shrimp and modest portions, they can offer balanced nutrition for those watching their intake. However, they can be relatively high in sodium due to seasonings and sauces, and the wrappers contribute carbohydrates. Pairing them with steamed vegetables or opting for low-sodium seasoning can make them a more health-conscious choice while enjoying their rich, savory taste. Perfect as an appetizer or snack, Siew Mai embodies the artistry and tradition of Chinese culinary culture.
