2. Step 2: Create marinade sauce

In a bowl, we'll mix:
a. Light soy sauce

b. Oyster sauce

c. Salt
d. Sugar

e. Cornstarch
f. Baking soda

g. Chicken stock
h. Water

i. White pepper

3. Step 3: Marinate ingredients
We'll be creating our siu mai fillings in a few steps:

a. Mix the sauce and chicken in a bowl for about 2-3 minutes.
b. Let the chicken absorb the sauce for about 10 minutes.

c. Then, add in the minced shrimp and mushrooms, along with olive oil and

sesame oil. Mix again for another 1-2 minutes.
d. Cover with plastic wrap, and let everything marinate in the refrigerator for 4-8

hours.
4. Step 4: Fold dumplings

This is a lot easier to conceptualize by watching our video (and also much easier

with practice), but here are the steps to stuff and fold the dumplings:
a. Lay out a wrapper in your palm.

b. Scoop about 1 oz of meat filling into the wrapper, and loosely flatten it.
c. Make a circle by pressing your index finger and thumb together, and place the

wrapper over the circle. Make a funnel-like shape with your other fingers.
d. With the opposite end of a spoon, push into the center of the wrapper, into the

hole you made with your fingers.

e. Compress the meat into the dumpling wrapper by pressing with your spoon,
pressing with your fingers on all sides. Rotate the dumpling with your fingers a

few times.
