[Recipe] Shrimp Dumpling (Siomai)

Last month, I was given a chance to go back to Indonesia for a while, precisely in Medan. When I was there, I had so many culinaries, such as dimsum. Going back here, the craving of dimsum come back again. Luckily, I brought back nice and cheap dumpling skins. I found a very easy recipe of Shrimp Dumpling. 

Here are the ingredients and methods.

Bulan lalu, saya sempat pulang sebentar ke Indonesia, tepatnya di Medan. Ketika itu, saya sempat melepas rindu dengan kuliner Medan, salah satunya dimsum. Nah, begitu kembali kesini, rasa rindu akan dimsum datang lagi. Apalagi saya bawa pulang oleh-oleh kulit pangsit yang harganya jauh lebih murah daripada disini. Akhirnya saya cari resep siomai, karena siomai termasuk salah satu dimsum. 

Nah, kali ini, saya akan berbagi resep siomai. Siomai Udang namanya.
