About Siomai

Siomai, a popular steamed dumpling originating from Chinese cuisine, has gained widespread popularity across many Asian countries, particularly in the Philippines. Typically, siomai is made from a mixture of ground pork, shrimp, or beef, combined with chopped vegetables such as carrots and green onions, then seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and spices. These ingredients are wrapped in thin wonton wrappers and steamed to perfection. Siomai is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, thanks to its meat and vegetable components. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on the recipe and preparation. The sodium from soy sauce and dipping sauces like chili garlic oil or soy-based condiments can be high, so consumption should be mindful for those watching their salt intake. Pairing siomai with fresh vegetables or a healthy side can balance its flavors and enhance its nutritional value. Enjoy them as part of a balanced meal!
