Filipino version is more straightforward mix. More likely filipino will add an egg or cornstarch as binder. I also make cantonese siumai in which the meat is mix with baking soda water which creates the meat mix sticky and no need to add a binder like starch. As a Filipino as well, I do put carrots as well but I also prefer to put turnips but after I grate the turnip I lightly squeeze them with cheesecloth to reduce some of the water. Also the chinese as far as I know pair siumai with chili oil. For Filipinos it is imperative to pair it with calamansi soy mix addition of chili garlic is optional.
@@AAgoncillo Chinese siu mai and Filipino siomai might look similar, but they’ve got their own twists. Chinese siu mai are lighter with seasonings like soy sauce, sesame oil, and Shaoxing wine, wrapped in thin yellow dumpling skins. On the other hand, Filipino siomai is more garlicky, sometimes a bit sweeter, and often includes veggies like carrots. It’s wrapped in slightly thicker skins and served with soy sauce, calamansi, and chilli garlic sauce. While Chinese siu mai is a dim sum staple, siomai in the Philippines is more of a street food snack or quick meal.

The Siomai in the Philippines is 80% extender, 20% meat🫢 That's why stick to more expensive siomai than those being sold in the streets lol
Not even funny
well those are meant to be cheap, what do you expect? that's why we make, buy homemade ones, or buy from resto.
Don’t be a snob some people needs filling, delicious food within their budget 😢
True, haha
DECS is ok Siomai.
He Lin if in the mall.
@@maximilianc9897it's not a joke, it's true
The Filipino pronunciation is shoh-mai not shao-mai
Siomai (shumai) is Chinese, not Filipino.
We make it, we Filipinos. So it's Filipino Siomai
Lol not Philippino
