thai-pork-dumplings

Over in Thailand lies a delicious perfectly-packed parcel with pork and other amazing flavors. This is a Thai version of the pork siu mai from China. It is found in Thailand's street food community, dim sum carts, and restaurants. Typically the filling is a small bite-sized ball, wrapped in a dumpling wrapper. Or, it is also served up siu mai-style where the sides are crimped into a vessel. While the flavors still represent the deliciousness of Thai dumplings, I chose to do a different fold that still gets the beautiful wrinkled effect after steaming/boiling. Dumplings have multiple filling options and are the most versatile food to make. One of the important elements of dumpling-making is not just folding/crimping techniques but that filling is a key element to master. Having the right balance of ingredients, mixing your ingredients correctly, sustaining moisture, and creating that wonderful mouthfeel makes a difference.
