Food Processing Practicum 2021: Ingredients
PORK SIOMAI
Ingredients
1 kg ground pork (suggested proportion of fat to lean meat is 1:3)
1/3 cup chopped water chestnuts or turnips (singkamas)
3/4 cup chopped carrots
2 tbsp or 4 cloves minced garlic
2 medium or 1 large minced onion(s)
bunch of spring onions or leeks
1 egg
5 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon salt
5 g seasonings
50 pcs. large or 100 pcs. small wanton or siomai wrapper
Soy sauce, calamansi (lemon or kumquats), sesame oil and chilli paste (for the sauce)
2. Arrange 10 wrappers in a tray, and weigh 100 g of siomai mixture. Place 2 tsp of meat in each
wrapper until nothing is left unfilled. Each wrapper will have 10 grams of siomai.
3. To enclose, gather up the edges of the wrapper and gently fold it so that it forms a basket
shape, with the top of the filling exposed. Press lightly as you pleat each side. Or, if you don’t
want to expose the filling, use a bigger wrapper. Do the same to the remaining meat mixture.
5. When the water gets to a rolling boil, arrange the siomai in the steamer and let stand for 15-20
minutes, longer for larger pieces.
II. PROCEDURE
To make longganisa, the curing method is applied. This involves the application of salt, sugar,
nitrate, and other chemical preservatives that kill microorganisms or delay microbial action.

II. PROCEDURE IN MAKING TOCINO
1. Select good quality meat. Trim and weigh.
2. Slice meat ¼ in thickness.
3. Weigh meat slices and prepare the curing ingredients per kilo of meat.
4. Mix meat with salt, curing salt, phosphate, and Vitamin C (dissolved in ¼ cup water).
5. Add the extenders and mix well until they dry.
6. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix again.
7. Cure at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours or at refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.
8. Pack tocino in polyethylene plastic bag in ¼ or ½ kg. package. Remove the trapped air inside
the bag and seal immediately.
9. Store in freezer.
10. For 2 kilos of tocino, double all ingredients.
B. Product Pricing
Production Cost per kg. = Php 144.15
Add: 15%-20% markup of the Production Cost = P28.83
Selling Price per kilogram = Php 172.98
Market Price per kilogram = Php 180.00
The higher the volume of production per day (i.e., more than 70 kgs.), the lower the production
cost, thus increasing the markup to more than 50%.
** If price per kg. is lower compared with the existing market price, increase markup to 50% or
more.
