Step 1

In a bowl, combine the dough ingredients. Use chopsticks to mix up the ingredients. Add more water if the dough is too dry. Knead for 5 minutes on a floured surface and then cover and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients. Mix well until a silky and smooth paste has formed.

Step 3

On a floured surface, roll out the dough until 2-3mm thick. Cut the dough into equal squares (around 8), that are approximately 7cm wide.

Step 4

Place a heaped tsp of the filling into the centre of a wrapper. Cup the dumpling and seal the wrapper like a basket around the filling. You want the top of the filling to be uncovered. If you have any excess dough, just dab a bit of water onto the edge of the wrapper, fold it over and pat it down. Repeat this step until you have no dough or filling left.

Step 5

Cut out a circular piece of baking paper with holes in it and place it in your steamer. You can alternatively brush your steamer with oil to avoid the Siu Mai sticking to the base.

Step 6

Place the Siu Mai into the steamer and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine your dipping sauce ingredients.

Step 8

Remove the Siu Mai from the steamer and enjoy!
