Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams ground pork
- 2 large egg white
- 50 grams chickpea flour
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- as needed water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, egg whites, and chickpea flour. Mix well to incorporate.
Add the chopped green onions and minced garlic to the pork mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Prepare a clean working surface and a small bowl of water. Lay out a wonton wrapper, placing 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water using your fingertip. Gather and fold the edges to form a pouch around the filling, leaving the top exposed. Press gently to seal.
Repeat the filling and folding process for the remaining wrappers and meat mixture.
Prepare a steamer by lining the basket with parchment paper or lightly oiling it to prevent sticking.
Arrange the siomai in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then place the steamer basket on top. Steam the siomai for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked through.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with soy sauce or chili oil as a dipping sauce.
