Chef's Notes
Do not skip the fat in the pork! Lean pork will turn these precious dumplings into rubbery little golf balls.
Pro Tip
Stirring the meat filling in only one direction develops the protein strands, giving your siu mai that coveted bouncy texture.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to line your steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves, resulting in your precious dumplings permanently fusing to the bamboo like modern art.

The Culinary Science
The myosin proteins in the minced meat cross-link when mixed and salted, trapping moisture and creating a springy texture during steaming.
