Homemade Seremban Siew Bao
Ben made the Seremban Siew Bao from scratch at home because he misses it. The last time he had it was probably six years ago when he went back to Malaysia.
The Siew Bao was a success and Ben was very satisfied. He got the recipe from this youtube. We made some adjustments to the recipe to our preference like:
- darker colour filings
- darker glaze by just using egg yolk
- more liquid in the seasonings to add moisture to the filings
