Pork Siomai

This popular dumplings has been flooding the busy streets of Davao. They sell it for a much cheaper price with different fillings to choose from. There's pork, beef, shrimp or even a Japanese inspired siomai. A Philippine version of siomai has a lot of extenders such as carrots, turnip, onion or sometimes it is also mixed with oats. I learned that the best wonton wrapper to use is the round shape since you can easily wrap the fillings in it. I fell in love with this dumplings so we make a lot of it at home. Hope you'll gonna love this home made pork siomai too.
