About Siu mai
Siu Mai, a beloved dim sum dish from Chinese cuisine, is a steamed dumpling traditionally filled with ground pork, shrimp, mushrooms, and seasonings, all wrapped in a thin wheat-based wrapper and topped with roe or vegetables for garnish. This savory treat is a staple of Cantonese food culture, enjoyed for its tender texture and flavorful bite. Siu Mai offers a source of protein from the pork and shrimp, as well as nutrients like zinc and selenium. However, it can also be higher in sodium due to added seasonings and soy sauce, and its wrapper contributes to carbohydrates. While relatively low in fat compared to fried dim sum, moderation is key, as portion sizes can add up in calories quickly. Pairing Siu Mai with fresh vegetables or a lighter side dish can help balance its nutritional profile, making it a satisfying choice within a varied and mindful diet.
