This Pork Siomai Recipe is a typical Chinese dumpling. This recipe is similar to the Cantonese variety. It mainly uses ground pork and shrimp, with added mushrooms. I also used singkamas (commonly known as jicama or Mexican turnip) but it is totally optional. Leave it out of your ingredients if you don’t like jicama, or "singkamas" in Filipino. Soimai, or steamed dumplings, are easy to make and great as an appetizer, snack, or main dish. This recipe is one of my favorites because it tastes the best when paired with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce and calamansi.
