Siu mai

Siu mai are traditional Chinese dumplings typically served as part of dim sum meals. They consist of a thin, delicate wrapper made from wheat flour and water, filled with a mixture of ground pork, shrimp, and sometimes other ingredients like mushrooms or bamboo shoots. The dumplings are usually topped with a small bit of roe or vegetables, giving them an inviting appearance. They are traditionally steamed, which keeps the filling moist and flavorful. Siu mai are enjoyed for their savory taste and tender texture, making them a popular and iconic dish in Chinese cuisine.
