Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 100 grams Carrots, grated
- 100 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
- 100 grams Corn kernels
- 2 pieces Green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers, vegan
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 100 ml Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Crumble the firm tofu in a mixing bowl until it resembles a coarse texture.
Add grated carrots, chopped cabbage, corn kernels, chopped green onions, and minced garlic to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the vegetable mixture and mix to combine. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Place a vegan wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add about a tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Gather the edges of the wrapper around the filling, slightly pleating and pressing to form a basket shape. Leave the top open.
Repeat this process until all wrappers and filling are used.
Bring water to a boil in a steamer. Arrange the siomay in the steamer basket, leaving space between each piece to prevent sticking.
Steam the siomay over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through.
While the siomay is steaming, prepare the peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, coconut milk, chili sauce, and lime juice in a small saucepan.
Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
Serve the steamed vegan siomay hot, accompanied by the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
