Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 large Cabbage leaves
- 1 cup Peanut sauce
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a food processor, combine ground chicken and shrimp; pulse until well mixed and shrimp is chopped finely.
Transfer the chicken-shrimp mixture to a large bowl and add egg, coconut flour, soy sauce, salt, white pepper, and minced garlic. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Wash cabbage leaves thoroughly. Carefully steam or blanch them in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes until they become pliable. Remove and let them cool slightly.
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the center of each cabbage leaf.
Fold the sides of the leaf towards the center over the filling and roll tightly to shape into dumplings.
Place a steamer basket over boiling water, ensuring the water doesn't touch the dumplings. Arrange the siomay in the basket, making sure they don't touch.
Cover and steam for about 12-15 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.
Remove the siomay carefully from the steamer and let them cool slightly.
Serve the low carb siomay with peanut sauce on the side and lime wedges for drizzling.
