These are wrapped in wontons, thin wrappers made of flour and water. My version consists of the favorite filling of ground pork, shrimps, water chestnuts, soy sauce, rice wine and seasonings. Filling and shaping is done by hand, and each dumpling resembles a tiny, open cup, with pleated sides of the wonton. Steam the siomai and serve with a side dipping sauce of soy sauce sprinkled with calamansi. Serve as an appetizer, side or main dish. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pork-siomai/feed/ 0 87034 https://thequirinokitchen.com/kutsinta-instant-pot-or-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/kutsinta-instant-pot-or-stovetop/#respond Thu, 28 Dec 2023 22:49:38 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=86745 Kutsinta, also known as kuchinta or cuchinta, are classic Filipino kakanins (rice cakes) which are small, round, are reddish-brown in color, and have a sticky, jelly-like consistency.
