Ingredients

• 250 grams white fish fillet (such as cod or tilapia), skinned and cubed
• 100 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 medium carrot, finely grated
• 20 pieces wonton wrappers
• 5 pieces cabbage leaves
• 4 pieces lime wedges, for serving
• 0 optional peanut sauce, for dipping

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the white fish, shrimp, egg, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Pulse until a smooth mixture forms.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the grated carrot until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the fish mixture in the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

Gather up the sides of each wrapper and gently squeeze to encase the filling, leaving the top exposed. Repeat until all the mixture and wrappers are used.

Step 5

Line a bamboo steamer or a regular steamer with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the siomay in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching one another.

Step 7

Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and bring to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot, cover, and steam the siomay over high heat for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the siomay from the steamer and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve warm with lime wedges for squeezing over and a side of peanut sauce for dipping, if desired.
