Shaomai

Overview

Siomai is a kind of pasta with glutinous rice as the main ingredient. Eating glutinous rice has the effect of detoxifying. That day, I saw Thai glutinous rice at BBK supermarket for only 3.28 yuan per catty. Compared with the unit price before the Dragon Boat Festival, it was more than 2 yuan per catty cheaper. So I ignored the old adage of eating the poor people and took advantage of the bargain and bought four catties. These four kilograms of glutinous rice are intended to be eaten in two portions, one to make sweet wine and the other to make shaomai. Then let’s start by making Shaomai.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients, one carrot, appropriate amount of shiitake mushrooms, appropriate amount of ginger and shelled garlic.

   

2. 2 I bought local pork for 20 yuan per catty. Fatty meat is fried in oil, and the oil residue is used as an auxiliary ingredient. Finely chop the meat into minced meat.

   

3. 3 I didn't make the dough for making siomai myself, I bought it from a noodle shop in the wet market. Since the dough for making siomai is larger than that for making dumplings, it has to be made to order. When discussing with the waiter, I told him that I wanted to make a pound and a half of glutinous rice, but I didn’t know how much dough I would need. He didn't know, so he ordered about one hundred pieces worth three yuan.

   

4. 4 Look, the carrots are cut into small pieces. The auxiliary ingredients are all cut into pieces, so they are not shown here one by one.

   

5. 5 This is glutinous rice that has been soaked overnight and steamed using the steam function on the rice cooker. Be careful, just use soaked rice for steaming, do not add water.

   

6. 6 First put the minced meat into the pot and stir-fry, then add the minced carrots, mushrooms and other auxiliary ingredients in sequence until it is cooked. Turn the heat to low, pour the glutinous rice into the pot, and stir-fry together.

   

7. 7 Put the stir-fried Siomai main ingredients into a container and start cooking.

   

8. 8 Put the cooked siomai into the steamer and it will be steamed in just five minutes after the water boils.
