In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onions.

Place a gluten-free wonton wrapper in your palm and scoop about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center.

Gently fold the edges of the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top exposed to shape the Siew Mai.

Press a small pinch of grated carrot on top of each dumpling for garnish.

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Fill a pot or wok with water, bring it to a boil, and place the steamer over the pot.

Cover and steam the dumplings for 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked.

Step 11

Carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the steamer and serve immediately with additional gluten-free soy sauce as a dipping sauce.
