Ingredients
- 300 grams Skin-on chicken thighs

- 50 grams Gluten-free rice flour
- 50 grams Gluten-free tapioca flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 small Carrot, finely grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
- 6 leaves Cabbage leaves or parchment paper

Instructions
Chop the chicken thighs finely or use a food processor to process until it forms a coarse paste.
Clean and devein the shrimp, then chop them roughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken paste and chopped shrimp.
Add the rice flour, tapioca flour, grated carrot, minced garlic, chopped scallions, salt, ground white pepper, sesame oil, and the egg into the meat mixture.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until well combined and you achieve a sticky dough-like consistency.
Prepare your steamer by bringing a pot of water to a boil and then reducing it to a simmer.
Line the base of the steamer basket with cabbage leaves or parchment paper to prevent the siomay from sticking.
Wet your hands, take small portions of the meat mixture (about a tablespoon), and form them into small balls (or slightly flattened shapes).
Place the shaped dumplings into the lined steamer basket, ensuring they are slightly spaced apart.
Steam the siomay for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are fully cooked and firm to the touch.
Remove the siomay from the steamer and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve hot with a side of peanut sauce and lime wedges for an extra zesty flavor.
