Siu Mai

Classic Chinese Dim Sum consisting of Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice and a vibrant garden mix of onion, peas, and corn; placed in a dumpling wrapper.  It tastes super good with Chinese sausages.  Minced meat is not necessary but will increase the flavor. For vegan readers, skip meat and add  mushrooms.
