How To Make the Siomaisiomai1

  1. Once you have all the ingredients, prepare the curing mix by  combining the phosphate, iodized salt, and curing salt. Blend. Before adding the chilled water, make sure the phosphate is blended well with the other two powders. Stir well until everything is dissolved , then set the mix aside. Thoroughly mix the phosphate with other ingredients to avoid lumps from forming and to prevent bacteria from proliferating.
  2. Prepare the extender by mixing the TVP and carrageenan. Make sure they are blended well before adding to the water; this is to ensure that TVP would not seperate from the meat onec the siomai is cooked. Mix the extender for three minutes until it is hydrated.
  3. To make the seasoning all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then pour the liquid ingredients except the egg and BF blend. When he dry and liquid ingredients have been mixed, add the eggs and then the BF blend, which together will serve as binders. Set the mix aside.
  4. Prepare the meat by adding the curing mix, kneading it by repeated inward folding with your palm. Make sure the curing mix is evenly distributed. Knead the meat until it becomes tacky and can be held together - that is there should be no loose bits of meat. Then add the extender, also making sure it is evenly distributed while you knead the meat.
  5. Transfer the meat to a bowl containing the seasoning. Mix until the meat absorbs the seasonings in the bowl. Then knead the meat. Get the molo or siomai wrapper and the weighing scale.
  6. Arrange 10 wrappers in a tray, and weigh 100 g of siomai mixture. Place 2 tsp of meat in each wrapper until nothing isleft unfilled. Each wrapper will have 10 grams of siomai. To enclose, gather up the edges of the wrapper and gently pleat it so that it forms a basket shape, with the top of the filling exposed. Press lightly as you pleat each side. Or, if you don’t want to expose the filling, use a bigger wrapper. Do the same to the remaining meat mixture.
  7. After wrapping the siomai, get the steamer and pour water until it is one-fourth full. Arrange the siomai uprightly in the steamer and steam for 25 minutes over simmering temperature. While waiting for the siomai, prepare the sauce.
  8. Mix the following: 1 cup or 224 ml soy sauce (p5/200ml), 12 pcs or 60 g calamansi or Philippine lemon (P15/250g), 1 tbsp or 3.30 g white sugar (P38/kg), 1 tsp or 1.70 g ground black pepper, and 3 tbsp or 6 cloves or fried chopped garlic. Set aside.
  9. After 25 minutes, take off the siomai from the steamer and arrange it in a tray or plate with the sauce.

How Much Will I Make

Add 25% to your total production cost to account for indirect costs. Then tack on a 100 percent markup to obtain a selling price of P3.60 per piece.

Notice that although your meat is just a kilogram, your yield is 150 pieces, which has a total weight of 1.5 kg. This is because of the extenders you added and the weights of the other ingredients.
