"Pork (siu mai) is another dim sum classic ordered with prawn (shrimp) dim sum (haa gaau). The wonton wrapper, shaped like a tiny cup, is stuffed with pork, prawn and mushrooms and steamed perfectly to give you a delightful taste explosion in just one mouthful," says BBC's Best Home Cook's 2020 winner Suzie Lee. "Traditionally siu mai is topped with fish roe, but for this recipe I've used grated carrot instead."
Tip: These delicious dumplings can be frozen (you will need to add about 5 minutes’ extra steaming time if cooking from frozen), so make a double batch and pop them in the freezer to enjoy whenever you have a craving.
