Pork siomai is a popular snack in the Philippines. It is also known as Chinese dumpling - this dish is from China. Since it is popular here, my mother decided to try and sell some. And its quite a big hit in our place. Most specifically to my brother who loves to eat meat. (Well, he doesn't know that it was also filled with of lots of veggies, thanks to our meat mixer!)
I hope you would enjoy my extra special recipe of pork siomai. The yield may vary depending upon the size you want. You could also try to add other vegetable extenders but do not put more onions since it shortens the life span of the siomai. However, if it will be consumed in one sitting, you can put as much as you like. It is much tastier!
