Pork Fat is Key
Adding a generous amount of pork fat to the filling is crucial for a juicy and flavorful Siu Mai. It renders during steaming, adding moisture and richness.
Don't Overmix
Overmixing the filling can result in a tough texture. Mix gently until just combined to maintain a tender and succulent filling.
Steaming Time
Proper steaming time is essential. Over-steaming can make the wrappers soggy, while under-steaming can leave the filling undercooked. Aim for around 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of the Siu Mai.
Presentation Matters
Traditionally, Siu Mai are garnished with a small dollop of crab roe or finely chopped carrots for visual appeal. This enhances the dining experience.
