Siew Mai
Siew Mai, a tasty morsel in the dim sum world, is actually a dish that originated from Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. It is an open-faced steam dumpling traditionally made with minced pork wrapped in wonton pastry, steamed and served in cute little bamboo baskets. One is never enough so be sure to make some extras, which can be popped into the freezer for later.

Marinate the prawns
- In a mixing bowl, marinate the prawn meat with salt for 5 min, then wash away the salt under running water until the water runs clear.
- Place the prawn in a colander to drain away as much water as possible.
-
Mix the filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the prawn meat, mushroom, pork, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, sugar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
- Combine well and pound it on a plate repeatedly until it forms a firm mass, like meatloaf or burger patty.
-
Form the siew mai
- Place 2 tsp of the filling on the wonton skin
- Rotate the siew mai and squeeze it at the midsection
- Press down the meat with a spoon or a bamboo paddle to level it
- Flatten the base of the siew mai so that it can sit steadily on the steamer
- Place a wolf berry on top of each siew mai
