CH🥟 Homemade Siomai Wrappers Recipe:
✅ Ingredients:
•120g flour
•60ml water
•Pinch of salt
•Cornstarch or flour (for dusting)
🔪 Tools You’ll Need:
• Mixing bowl
• Rolling pin
• Knife or cookie cutter (round, optional)
• Clean surface for kneading/rolling
👩🍳 Procedure:
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
• Flour
• Water
• Salt
Give it a quick stir to evenly distribute the salt.
2. Add Hot Water Gradually
• Slowly pour in about ¾ cup of hot water while stirring the flour with a spoon or chopsticks.
• Once it starts forming clumps, use your hands to bring the dough together.
3. Knead the Dough
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface.
• Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• If it’s too sticky, add a little flour. If it’s too dry, add a tiny splash of water.
✅ The dough should be soft but not sticky.
4. Rest the Dough
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
• Let it rest for 30 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.
5. Roll Out the Dough
• Cut the dough into 4 sections to make it easier to handle.
• Roll out one portion at a time on a lightly floured surface until very thin (about 1–2 mm).
• Keep the rest of the dough covered to prevent drying.
6. Cut into Wrappers
• Use a knife or round cutter to cut 3–3.5 inch circles (classic siomai size).
• Dust with a little cornstarch to prevent sticking.
• Stack wrappers with parchment paper or a bit of cornstarch between each.
💡 Tip: If you don’t have a cutter, use a glass or lid!
7. Ready to Use
• Your wrappers are ready for filling and folding!
• You can store them in the fridge for 1–2 days, or freeze them for up to a month (with parchment between each one).
