This siu mai recipe, made with pork and shrimp, can stand up to any siu mai from any dim sum restaurant! They’ll transport you to those big dim sum halls of old, filled with push carts, the smell of warm aromatic steam, and the din of dozens of families enjoying a weekend brunch together. 

Our aunt, who is notoriously critical of any recipe she encounters, had no changes to make to it and said they were some of the best she’s ever had. If that’s not a hearty endorsement, we don’t know what is!
