Ingredients

• 300 grams Lean ground pork
• 100 grams Shrimp, peeled and chopped
• 50 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 piece Carrot, finely grated
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, and salt to the pork mixture. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Take a wonton wrapper in your palm and place about a tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center.

Step 4

Gently bring the sides of the wrapper up around the filling, pleating the edges and leaving the top exposed. Tap the bottom to flatten for even steaming.

Step 5

Repeat the process until all the filling and wrappers are used.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Lightly grease the steamer tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the siewmai in the steamer, leaving some space between each piece. Top each with a small pinch of grated carrot for garnish.

Step 8

Cover and steam over boiling water for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove from the steamer and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
