Chinese influence in Filipino cooking is evident considering the popularity of noodle dishes, dimsums and dumplings. Siomai is one of these dishes all filipino love. In siomai recipes we normally use half pork meat and half shrimp for filling. But do you know that we can also do it with beef filling or pure vegetarian version?
Beef Siomai
Ingredients:
half a kilo of ground beef
half a kilo of ground pork
* you can either use one kilo of beef if you prefer (for vegetarian version you can replace the beef with mushrooms and tofu that is chopped finely)

a thumbsized ginger pounded
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
