Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean ground chicken
- 100 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 25 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the shrimp and combine with ground chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with meat. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Step 3
Bring a pot with at least 2 inches of water to a simmer, then prepare your steamer basket by lining it with a parchment paper.
Step 4
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture to the center of the wrapper.
Step 5
Gather up the sides of the wrapper, forming an open-topped dumpling, and gently squeeze to secure the filling.
Step 6
Use a small pinch of grated carrot to garnish the top of each shumai.
Step 7
Repeat until all the filling is used, arranging each shumai in the steamer basket with a bit of space between them.
Step 8
Place the steamer basket over the pot of simmering water. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes, until the shumai are cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the shumai from the steamer carefully and serve hot, optionally with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
