How to Make It

1. Cut the cheese into 20 small sticks, sized to fit inside the siomai wrappers.
2. For the plain version, place a cheese stick near one corner of a siomai wrapper.
3. Fold the corner over the cheese, fold in both sides, and roll snugly.
4. Moisten the final edge with a little water and press to seal.
5. Repeat to make 10 plain cheese sticks.
6. For the sweetened version, lightly coat the remaining cheese sticks in the sugar.
7. Wrap and seal them using the same method.
8. Heat enough cooking oil for frying to about 170°C.
9. Fry in small batches for about 1–2 minutes, turning as needed, until the wrappers are golden and crisp.
10. Remove promptly before the cheese begins to leak out.
11. Drain on a wire rack and let cool briefly before serving with your preferred dipping sauce.
