Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 100 grams Shrimp, peeled and chopped
• 1 medium Minced onion
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 medium Grated carrot
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced onion, minced garlic, and grated carrot.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and continue to mix until the flour is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Take a wonton wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Put about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling to form a cup shape. The siomai can be shaped with or without leaving the top open, based on preference.

Step 6

Gently press the filling down with your fingers to ensure the shape holds, but be careful not to tear the wrapper.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer with boiling water. Lightly grease the steamer basket with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Arrange the siomai pieces in the steamer, making sure to leave space between them so they do not touch.

Step 10

Cover and steam over boiling water for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until fully cooked (when the pork is no longer pink and is firm to the touch).

Step 11

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot with a side of soy sauce, a squeeze of lemon, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
