Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 30 Wonton wrappers
- 30 Peas, for garnish
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and minced ginger.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, egg white, and cornstarch to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated.
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center.
Bring the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, pinching the wrapper slightly to form an open-topped dumpling with a flat bottom.
Place a pea on top of each dumpling for garnish.
Prepare a steamer with water brought to a boil, and line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving a little space between each to prevent sticking.
Cover the steamer and cook the siewmai over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes, until the pork is cooked through.
Serve hot, either plain or with a low-sodium soy dipping sauce.
