Siomay Ayam: A Delightful Indonesian Chicken Dumpling Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg chicken fillet
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt or seasoning powder
- 1 carrot
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (approximately 20-25 sheets)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Filling: Start by grinding the chicken fillet along with the garlic and salt (or seasoning powder) until you achieve a smooth mixture. You can use a blender for this task to ensure a fine consistency.
-
Prepare the Carrot: Peel and grate the carrot into thin, long strips. This will add a crunchy texture and a touch of sweetness to your siomay.
-
Assemble the Siomay: Place a spoonful of the ground chicken mixture onto a spring roll wrapper. Sprinkle a few grated carrot strips over the top. Fold the edges of the wrapper over the filling, shaping it into a flower-like or compact form.
-
Steam the Siomay: Arrange the prepared siomay in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the wrapper is tender.
-
Serve: The siomay can be enjoyed directly after steaming. Alternatively, you can fry them to achieve a crispy texture. For a complete meal, serve the siomay with boiled potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, steamed cabbage, and tofu, topped with a rich peanut sauce.
Voila! You now have a delicious, complete siomay ayam ready to delight your taste buds. Enjoy this flavorful Indonesian delicacy with your family and friends!
Happy cooking!
