First Post On Foodie ^^

Lookie here dear friends. Guess what? Its Dim Sum! It was my first try on making these little cute siu mais' . It wasn't perfect but it was sure delicious.

The ingredients were simple, pork belly, prawns, chinese mushrooms, ginger and won ton skins. I did marinate the pork and prawns with shao shing wine for a couple of hours to get rid of the smell. Remember to cut the skin of the pork belly and de-vein the prawns. *(try and de-vein the prawns because the black things on the back are actually poo. Avoid going to restaurants if you spot the prawns is unviened because it is just uncomfortable to eat it and the chef might be lazy to even take out the simplest job).

What could make yours better is you could use a processing machine and grind all those ingredients together. I did use the traditional way to do it which was cutting it into thin slices and mince them myself. Wasn't too hard though. If you love food you could do it. Well if you need more help or i was not descriptive enough. Please leave a comment and i could help you out.

Below are the ingredients I used to make Alvin's Siu Mai

Wonton skins

Pork belly

Prawns

Chinese mushrooms
Ginger

Shaoxing wine

Sesame oil

Light soy sauce

Dark sweet soy sauce

Oyster sauce

Salt
Pepper
Sugar

*Please note : Try to steam one Siu Mai first before continuing to do the rest. Do not worry about how the skin looks like because in the end it will turn out beautifully. (The uglier they look, the better it will look and lastly practice makes perfect)

See you soon! Bon appetit.
