HOMEMADE SIOMAI : BEEF, KALE, MUSHROOM AND CARROTS

My son H's current food obsession is siomai and I don't blame him. It was one of my favorites growing up as well. Even in college, I would have "siomai rice" for lunch and it was a real treat. He requested me to make some so I rushed home this morning from my Barre3 class to prepare this for lunch. H and S had gymnastics class today so this was the perfect post activity lunch for them. I was also able to put in some veggies that they wouldn't normally eat (kale and spring onions!). I'm a sneaky momma that way! Haha!
