If you’re a fan of dim sum, then you’ve probably tasted siomay. This popular snack food consists of steamed fish or chicken dumplings served with a spicy peanut sauce. While siomay is traditionally made with fish, chicken is a great alternative for those who prefer a milder flavor. In this article, we’ll show you how to make siomay ayam from scratch.
Ingredients:
Before we get started, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Siomay wrappers
Instructions:
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s get started on making the siomay ayam:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, tapioca starch, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, egg, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Siomay
Take a siomay wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Use your fingers to shape the filling into a dome. Fold the edges of the wrapper up to cover the filling, leaving the top exposed. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the filling.
Step 3: Steam the Siomay
Bring a pot of water to a boil and place a bamboo steamer on top. Arrange the siomay in the steamer, making sure they don’t touch each other. Cover the steamer and steam the siomay for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
Step 4: Serve with Peanut Sauce
While the siomay is steaming, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Add water to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
Once the siomay is cooked, remove them from the steamer and serve them hot with the peanut sauce.
Tips for Making Siomay Ayam:
Here are a few tips to make your siomay ayam turn out perfectly:
- Don’t overfill the siomay wrappers, or they’ll be difficult to seal.
- Use a bamboo steamer instead of a metal steamer to prevent the siomay from sticking to the bottom.
- Make sure the water in the pot doesn’t touch the bottom of the bamboo steamer.
- Don’t skip the peanut sauce – it’s an essential part of the dish!
Conclusion:
Siomay ayam is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that’s perfect for a snack or appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and some steaming time, you can enjoy this popular Indonesian dish at home. Give it a try and see how delicious it can be!
