Teodirico’s Siomai Recipe, Revealed!

One of the common questions that our customers have been asking us is the recipe for our steamed siomai and how we were able to achieve such a delicious taste and at the same time make it very affordable. Like in most if not all food businesses and restaurants, the recipe is always kept secret to maintain product ownership.

However, making siomai is not really a rocket science and not a very complicated dish to make and we are very willing to share it to everybody, at least the base ingredients which you can easily adjust at your own liking. Our siomai contains ingredients that are readily available at your nearest public market or grocery stores.

Don’t believe it? Below is our basic recipe which you can easily tweak to suit your own taste!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ kilo ground pork
• ½ kilo of your favorite vegetable extender (singkamas, carrots, or sayote)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons flour
• accord
• salt
• garlic
• your favorite seasoning mix
  • you can buy a ready-made mix, or
  • you can create your own mix from salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper powder, white pepper powder, turmeric powder, and other spices
• lumpia wrapper (medium)
  • cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

1. Mix all ingredients and this is now your siomai mixture.
2. Put a portion of the siomai mixture to the cut lumpia wrapper and pack to form the siomai.
   • This may need some practice so be patient and just keep on trying. 😉
3. Steam siomai for 15 minutes.

And that’s it! Just three steps! Really very easy that even your kids can make, right?

So feel free to try the recipe, let us know if you have any questions, and enjoy!
