Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lean ground pork
- 100 grams Shrimp, peeled and chopped
- 50 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 piece Carrot, finely grated
- Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground pork, chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onions.
Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, and salt to the pork mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Take a wonton wrapper in your palm and place about a tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center.
Gently bring the sides of the wrapper up around the filling, pleating the edges and leaving the top exposed. Tap the bottom to flatten for even steaming.
Repeat the process until all the filling and wrappers are used.
Prepare a steamer by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Lightly grease the steamer tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the siewmai in the steamer, leaving some space between each piece. Top each with a small pinch of grated carrot for garnish.
Cover and steam over boiling water for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked.
Remove from the steamer and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
