Ingredients
For the Beef
- 250 g ground beef
- 20 g taco seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 medium white onion, diced, divided between the beef and fresh topping
- 5 g sugar, or to taste
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 10 ml cooking oil, for sautéing
For the Chips
- 200 g siomai wrappers
- Cooking oil, enough for deep frying
For the Fresh Topping
- 150 g tomatoes, diced
- 150 g cucumber, peeled and diced
- 50 g red onion, finely diced
For the Sauces
- 60 g mayonnaise
- 60 g Cheez Whiz
How to Make It
- Dice the white onion and set half aside for the fresh topping. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the sautéing oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until cooked through and beginning to brown.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, followed by half of the white onion and the garlic. Cook until the onion softens and the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the sugar and black pepper. Taste before adding salt because the taco seasoning already contains salt. Cook off excess liquid, then set the beef aside.
- Dice the tomatoes and cucumber. Combine them with the red onion and reserved white onion. Drain any liquid that collects in the bowl.
- Cut the siomai wrappers in half and separate the layers.
- Heat enough oil for deep frying to about 175°C. Fry the wrappers in small batches, turning as needed, until lightly golden and crisp, about 1–2 minutes.
- Drain the chips thoroughly on a rack or strainer. Let them cool slightly, then break any large pieces into manageable chips.
- Arrange the chips on a serving platter. Scatter the seasoned beef and fresh vegetable topping over them.
- Drizzle with mayonnaise and Cheez Whiz, then serve immediately.
Kubo Tips
- Separate the wrappers before frying so they do not stick together in the oil.
- Watch the chips closely because thin wrappers brown quickly.
- Keep the beef fairly dry so its cooking juices do not soak into the chips.
- Drain excess liquid from the diced vegetables before adding them.
- Taste the seasoned beef before adding salt, especially when using a salty taco seasoning blend.
- If the Cheez Whiz is too thick to drizzle, warm it gently according to its package directions.
- Assemble only when ready to eat. For a longer gathering, serve the chips, beef, vegetables, and sauces separately.
