Beef Siomai

Beef Siomai

*PLEASE KEEP FROZEN UNTIL READY TO COOK*

Pan – Sear:  (Time: 5- 7 minutes)

• Heat up a nonstick pan on medium heat, let it heat for a couple of minutes.
• Add 2-3 oz of water to the pan to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Add the frozen beef siomai cover and cook until most of the water is absorbed
• Reduce heat and add ½ oz of corn or sesame oil, cover and let simmer 3-4 minutes until golden brown – turning once to brown two sides.
• NOTE: DO NOT add so much water that the siomai are submerged in it. There only needs to be enough water to cover the bottom of the pan to steam the siomai.
• Once cooked, remove carefully onto a paper towel with a slotted spoon.

Deep Fry:  (Time: 2-3 minutes)

• Place a deep-frying pan on medium heat. Add enough oil to completely submerge the siomai.
• Heat oil to 180°C.
• Once the oil is hot, slide the frozen beef siomai in gently, one by one, into the oil. Gently stir and turn them over occasionally until it is golden-brown on all sides. This process usually takes about 2 -3 minutes from the time the oil gets hot.
• Once cooked, remove carefully onto a paper towel with a slotted spoon.

Steam:  (Time: 10-15 minutes)

• Lightly coat/ spray some oil on a metal steam rack, line the rack with parchment paper (optional) or if you have a bamboo steamer that is best.
• Place in a pot of boiling water, but do not submerge the rack or steamer.
• Arrange the frozen beef siomai in a single layer about 1/4-inch apart on the lightly greased steamer basket and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through.
• Once cooked, remove carefully onto a plate with the help of tongs.

Soup:  (Time: 5 -7 minutes)

• Place a pot on medium heat. Add enough water to completely submerge the siomai.
• Once the water is boiling, slide the frozen beef siomai in gently, one by one, into the boiling water.
• Cook for 3 minutes on high heat and then immediately reduce heat to medium for 2 minutes more. Gently stir them over occasionally.
• You can now add this to your favorite soup base with garnishes and serve.

*Cook all Beef Siomai to an internal temperature of 78°C *
