    Pg. 77 I used regular store bought thin skins and didn't bother rounding them as I was a bit rushed. The result looked a touch rustic, but were still nice. Flavour wise these are a bit different than the siu mai I am used to as there is no shrimp in them and a fair amount of mushroom. That said, this wasn't a negative, these were absolutely delicious, and with pre made wrappers only took about an hour to prep and steam, including time to rest. I would definitely make these again. Mine may have been a bit bigger than she planned though as I only got 20 out of the recipe.
