Personal Notes:
Siu Mei is a very popular Chinese dumpling dish served open-faced as part of a dim sum brunch. To enhance the presentation, you can cut off the uneven edges with a pair of scissors and/or garnish the top with a green pea and some tobiko before steaming. Siu mei is traditionally served without a dipping sauce. If you prefer one, mix soy sauce with a little sesame oil and fresh scallions and serve alongside. Enjoy!
