In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger, garlic, and egg.
Season the mixture with oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Prepare the wonton wrappers by placing them on a clean surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Gather the sides of the wrapper to form a 'cup' shape around the filling, leaving the center exposed. Press gently to secure.
Garnish each siewmai with a small piece of finely diced carrot on top of the exposed filling.
Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper or lettuce leaves to prevent sticking.
Arrange the siewmai in the steamer, ensuring there is space between each dumpling to allow steam to circulate.
Steam over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
