Ingredients

• 250 g Ground chicken
• 150 g Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 leaves Cabbage leaves
• 100 g Peanuts, roasted and unsalted
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Chili paste

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until it forms a paste.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, shrimp paste, egg, green onion, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

To prepare the cabbage leaves, blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until just softened. Remove and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken and shrimp filling onto each cabbage leaf.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly, like a burrito. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 6

Set a steamer over boiling water. Place the cabbage rolls in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 15 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peanuts, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and chili paste. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Serve the keto siomay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
