Another Pita Pocket Lunch

The kids love pita pocket, and they want it again for their lunch boxes. I made siomay as well. Here is the recipe :

SIOMAY/SIUMAI

Ingredients:

500 gr ground pork/chicken
2 garlic
3 green onions, sliced
5 button mushrooms
100 gr tapioca flour
1 tbs crushed shrimp
1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. fish oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Wonton wrappers

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well with hands until the mixture becomes sticky.
2. Form one of your hand as if you are holding a tube. Put a sheet of wonton wrapper on top. Scoop 1 tsp of the mixture on top of the wonton and push it in. Fix the shape with hands and push in a green pea on top.
3. Place the ones you finish on top of parchment paper (baking sheet) inside the steamer.
4. When it’s almost done wrapping, boil water in the wok. Make sure the water will not touch the bamboo steamer.
5. When you are done wrapping and water is boiling, put the steamer in the wok. Cook for 8 minutes.
