About Siewmai
Siewmai, also known as shumai, is a popular steamed dumpling originating from Chinese cuisine, particularly Cantonese dim sum. Typically made with a thin wheat flour wrapper, it is filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, shrimp, mushrooms, and sometimes chopped water chestnuts for added texture. The filling is seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and other spices, giving it a rich and umami-packed flavor. This dumpling is often topped with a small garnish, like a pea or roe, for presentation. Siewmai is a good source of protein due to its meat and seafood content, and it is steamed, which makes it lower in fat compared to fried alternatives. However, its sodium content can be high due to the seasoning, making moderation important for those watching their salt intake. Enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, it’s a delicious way to explore traditional Chinese flavors.
