Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 150 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large Egg
- 12 pieces Cabbage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 1 piece Lime, sliced
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the ground chicken and shrimp, and pulse until finely chopped and well mixed.
Transfer the chicken and shrimp mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, chopped green onions, grated carrot, and almond flour. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and blanch for about 2 minutes or until they are slightly softened. Remove them and immediately place them in ice water to stop further cooking. Pat dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center. Carefully wrap the filling with the leaf, folding it like a little parcel. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Arrange the wrapped siomay in a single layer in a steamer basket, making sure they are not crowded. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.
Remove the siomay from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Paleo Siomay warm, garnished with lime slices for squeezing over to taste.
