Apple Siu Mai 苹果烧卖

I created five colours of Siu Mai three years back, as to represent Chinese five elements 五行色.
When May invited me to make Siu Mai together for BREE event, immediately i think of to make apple flavour from the earlier five elements Siu Mai . As apple flavour Siew Mai was the most yummy Siu Mai among the five type of Siu Mai.




Apple is a nice substitute of the usual water chestnut for the Siu Mai's filling. Its give mild sweetness to the filling, nice!

I have to make the skin from scratch before i could not find pink skin in the market ..

  4. Spoon meat filling on the centre of the skin, place the skin in between your thumbs and fingers to form a circle and leaving the top open, wet your finger and smooth the top. Then sprinkle some chopped apple on top.

  8. Joan, you did not add milk powder in the taro filling right? only yam, caster sugar and butter ? If only these three items, when it turned out dry, maybe due to the type of yam you used, maybe you can increase butter slightly and add some fresh milk.
