The yellow color of the authentic Dough for Chinese siu mai and wonton is from the addtive of Sodium carbonate instead of the food color. It will enhance the gluten bond with the starch, so even roll it into a very thin wrapper, it won't break when stearm or boil it. The ratio of flour and sodium cabonate is 500g: 2g.

@sl0523 11 ай бұрын

My only cretique is that you should've used white pepper. When a Chinese recipe calls for pepper, 99 out 100 times it meant white pepper. Black pepper is used in Chinese cooking, but very rarely.

@gy5938 11 ай бұрын

Hey Brian! As a chinese I approve your siew mai! Fun fact, some wrapper do have eggs and also a touch of lye water for the taste and texture (jian shui wrapper) and is also used in many things in dim sum such as dumplings. Sesame oil and white pepper is also used for seasoning together with spring onion to cut off the greasy and meaty mouth feel. And lastly, some restaurants use shrimp roe for the pretty top. For vegan subs you may also use carrots. To prevent the bottom from sticking to anything, you may also add a slice of carrot at the bottom (with a touch of flour to stick it). Hopefully this info would be of use :)

awesome! I've been watching cooking media for the better part of 20 years and this is the first time I've ever heard of your brilliant but simple way of measuring out sticky messes by taring the scales and measuring in reverse using negative grams. Sounds so simple and obvious, but I can't believe I've never thought of this before. Its brilliant!

No one in Asia uses a bamboo steamer. Those are almost certainly for show. We just steam the way you did it. In fact, when I was younger, steaming racks that hold food weren’t very common in Asia. So my parents would just roll up foil into a donut shape, put that into a wok, fill with water then put a metal plate over and steam that.

Haha, making the wrappers from scratch is really next-level. I am an American living in Malaysia so the wrappers are EASY and cheap to find here already -- I make these dumplings from time to time, but I would never make my own siew mai wrappers. LOL. Your filling recipe looks BOMB though. Some Cantonese recipes advocate soaking the pork in water first to denature the proteins and thus allow the meat to absorb more of the other flavors and come together in a more cohesive mixture. I tried it and it made a difference. Another great video... thanks for this one! (Also, the usual sauces served with siew mai, at least here, are a sweet hoisin sauce and a chili sauce. The vinegar and soy blend is typically used with xiao long bao dumplings, but I think it would work nicely with siew mai, too, so now I'm curious to try it.)
