Pork Siomai

Siomai is a traditional Chinese dumpling. This popular dumpling has made its way to the heart of the Filipino’s as evidenced by the hundreds of stalls, eateries, and restaurants who serve them. Traditionally cooked through steaming, siomai nowadays are also served fried complimented with soy sauce and calamansi.
In Baguio City , the best siomai can be found in the PHR Building (which is the new food cart at the food court in the PHR Building at Bonifacio road front of SLU ). Several Chinese restaurants and even stalls serve different siomai varieties. Inside of PHR Building, would be the best one for me.
 
This recipe that I have for you is the Cantonese variety. It basically makes use of ground pork, shrimps, and mushrooms as the main ingredients. I liked this recipe for its oriental taste.
