Teochew Siew Mai (潮州烧卖)



Mother-in-law loves siew mai, especially Teochew style siew mai. Whenever we patronized a particular Teochew restaurant this is a must order dish. Here is my replication.


Teochew siew mai

Ingredients 
1kg Minced pork
700g Diced prawns
Diced water chestnut 
1 pc ti por 
1 tsp five spice powder (五香粉)
2 tbsp Osyter sauce
2 tbsp Light soya sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp Cornstarch
Square wanton skin
1 pc carrot (grated)

Methods

1. Pan fried the ti por till golden brown.
2. Pound the ti por into tiny bits.
3. Mix the ti por together with all other ingredients.
4. Keep in freezer  for 1-2 hours
5. Removed from freezer and start to wrap the siew mai.
