Recipe: Pork Siomai

Without a doubt, Filipinos have certainly embraced this delightful Chinese dish. Inspired by a video from Monterey's recipe.tv, I tried my hands on making pieces of my own version of Pork Siomai. I added some dashes of thyme in the recipe for that added earthiness and I find this version a little too soft and juicy compared to others that are marketed outside, probably because this recipe uses ground lean pork.
