How To Cook Deep Fried Siomai Recipe
Deep Fried Siomai Recipe -Shumai (shaomai, shui mai, shu mai, sui mai, shui mei, siu mai, shao mai, siew mai, or siomai) also called Pork Dumplings is a traditional Chinese dumpling served in dim sum.Deep Fried Siomai or Fried Wonton rose-up from being an underdog to one of the favorite food of the masses. Thanks to the marketing genius of my favorite Siomai house. Back in the days, Fried Siomai is not as popular as the steamed variety. You cannot buy the fried varieties from most Chinese restaurants and fast food kiosks unless requested.
I think that the marketing strategy helped a lot in making the fried version popular; it has something to do with localization. The product, which is Fried Siomai, is packaged in such a way that the local population will understand and need. This widens the market of the product and increases the chance for it to get sold.
Aside from selling Fried Siomai per order (which is 3 to 4 pieces with sauce), an option for a combo was made available. Fried Siomai is packaged with Hainanese rice and a drink to make it a meal. This might sound simple, but it works. Now, it can compete with other lunch meals.Ever wondered why American fast food chains in the Philippines serve rice with their fried chicken meals!

Additional Information About Siomai And Varieties
Philippine siomai
Siomai in the Philippines is often ground pork, beef, shrimp, among others, combined with extenders like green peas, carrots and the like which is then wrapped in wonton wrappers. It is either steamed or fried resulting in a crispy exterior. It is normally dipped in soy sauce and squeezed calamondin, and for some, with an oily, spicy garlic mix. A recent variant on siomai is wrapped in nori sheets instead of wonton wrappers, and marketed as "Japanese."
Serving
Within the dim sum tradition of southern China, shaomai is one of the most standard dishes. It is generally served alongside har gow, another variety of steamed dumpling containing shrimp, cooked pork fat, bamboo shoots and scallions; collectively these are known as hargow-sieu mai . In food stalls in Indonesia, siomai or "siomay" in local dialect are eaten together with steamed vegetables and tofu, and served with spicy peanut sauce. In Philippine food stalls and fast food restaurants, siomai is eaten as is, with dip, toothpicks to facilitating handling, or with rice using a spoon and fork. Source: Siomai
