Ingredients:

250 grams ground pork

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Procedure:

Put the ground pork inside a bowl then put the Mexican yam, carrots, onion and spring onion, too. Next, mix the malunggay leaves, sesame oil and egg to serve as binder or to make the ingredients stick together. Form the mixture into balls then wrap each ball with siomai wrapper then place them in the steamer and steam for about 15 minutes.

For the sauce, mix the calamansi extract, soy sauce and sesame oil.

After 15 minutes, malunggay siomai is now ready to serve. Enjoy!
