Siomay Jambi

Wednesday, February 20, 2019


I fell in love with Siomay Jambi when my mother in law first brought it from Jambi, a small town in Indonesia where hubby grew up. The inside is mainly veggies and ground pork with little bit flour, which make it less filling than the more popular Siomay Bandung
First cut up the veggies: carrots, jicama, bamboo shoots, mushroom. 


Place about one tablespoon inside the round dumpling skin
Gather the skin together, use a little bit of water to glue the skin
Arrange them in the steamer
Steam for about 5 to 10 minutes
