Siomay

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Siomay is a Chinese-Indonesian steamed fish dumpling served with vegetables in peanut sauce, derived from the Chinese shumai and considered a light meal similar to Chinese dim sum. Traditionally made from pork, it is frequently substituted with mackerel or other seafood and chicken since many Indonesians observe halal dietary law. It is typically served with steamed cabbage, potatoes, bitter gourd, boiled egg and tofu, topped with peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce and lime juice.
