Triple the Revenue by Switching to Automated Production Equipment! ANKO’s Fully Automated Siomay Production Solution for a Client in Taiwan
To boost production capacity, the client transitioned from manual to automatic manufacturing and contacted ANKO for a production solution. Initially, we recommended a Double-line Automatic Siomay Machine. Within two years, their number of restaurants had tripled. They then approached ANKO again to purchase another Siomay Machine to meet the demand from all their restaurants.

ANKO Team Research Problem Solving or Solution Delivery
Solution 1. ANKO provides recipe optimization to ensure optimal Siomay texture.
The client served Siomay at their “all-you-can-eat” buffet restaurant in Taiwan. They realized that most restaurants make Siomay to the order, but at buffet restaurants, Siomays are steamed and kept warm during mealtime, and the Siomay wrappers tend to become soggy over time. Therefore, ANKO developed new recipes for this client to make Siomay that can be steamed and kept warm while the wrapper texture remains intact. We can also develop customized Siomay made with various ingredients and flavors, creating recipes perfect for automated production. ANKO’s professional consultants and engineers can help create delicious Siomay products, providing clients with a significant competitive advantage.
ANKO creates the best Siomay recipes with the perfect wrapper thickness and texture to remain firm during extended steaming and warming time
ANKO customized a Jade Green Siomay, the client was impressed with the texture
The machine can also produce Siomay made with mushroom and glutinous rice
Solution 2. Solve the issues of production capacity and human resources with the evaluation of ROI.
ANKO provides many food making machines. We will consider customers' current and future situations, taking customers' budget, required production capacity, human resources, expected profit, etc., before give them advice. For example, this client was considering to have a semi-automatic siomay machine. In the siomay production process, 2 to 3 people were required, responsible for mixing filling, making dough, placing trays, collecting siomay, and collecting trays. The production capacity was 800 to 1,000 siomay an hour.
We recommended that they purchase an Automatic Siomay Machine, as it has the capacity to produce six times as much siomay per hour with the same number of workers as a semi-automatic one. They would recover their investment in half a year to a year, and there was no need to create siomay daily. They then took into account their workforce, production capacity, and future goals. Despite their business continuing to grow, they wouldn't need to purchase another machine very soon. In the end, we worked together to ensure their food business was successful.

- Food Culture
Siomay (Shumai) is a traditional Chinese Dim Sum dish that can be made in many different styles. For example, bite-sized Cantonese Siomay can be made with pork, fish paste, and shrimp then steamed in a small basket; Shanghai-style Siomay is filled with glutinous rice, pork, and mushrooms. Filipino “Siomai” is commonly made with ground pork, minced carrots, garlic, and green peas, wrapped in wonton wrappers, and they can be steamed or deep-fried.
The Cantonese-style Siomay is the most popular, and it is commonly served in traditional tea houses in Hong Kong, Macao, and numerous Chinese communities. The rise of global Dim Sum restaurants as a trendy dining option has further cemented Siomay's place on the menus. Its increasing demand inspired food manufacturers to offer various frozen Siomay products for consumers to prepare using the microwave, steamer easily, pan-fry, or deep-fry to quickly and conveniently serve Siomay at home.
Increasing consumer demand for healthy eating has also created new opportunities in the Siomay business. Producers have introduced low-fat and reduced-sodium Siomay made with ground chicken breast and even gluten-free and lower-calorie Siomay made with bean curd/tofu skin instead of regular wrappers. Many meatless options include Truffle Siomay made with soy protein infused with truffle flavors, and Jade Green Siomay and Tofu Siomay for consumers preferring vegetarian and vegan options. There is a growing number of Siomay producers in Asia and markets Worldwide, showcasing the broad appeal and potential business opportunities of producing this popular product.- Handmade Recipe
