How to Prepare

Steaming (recommended): Line a bamboo or metal steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, arrange the siu mai without touching, and steam over boiling water for 12–15 minutes from frozen (8–10 minutes if thawed) until cooked through, glistening, and irresistibly fragrant — the authentic preparation that delivers the juiciest, most flavourful result and the true dim sum restaurant experience. Garnish with a single flying fish roe (tobiko) or a green pea on top for the classic presentation.
Microwave: Place on a microwave-safe plate with a small splash of water, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 3–4 minutes until heated through — a quick, convenient option for a fast dim sum fix.
Pan-frying (Potsticker style): Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the siu mai flat-side down, and pan-fry for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom, then add a splash of water, cover, and steam for 5–6 minutes until cooked through — a delicious variation with an irresistible crispy golden base.

Serving Suggestions
