Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 0.5 cup Water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 30 Wonton wrappers
• 30 Peas, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and minced ginger.

Step 2

Add the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, egg white, and cornstarch to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center.

Step 4

Bring the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, pinching the wrapper slightly to form an open-topped dumpling with a flat bottom.

Step 5

Place a pea on top of each dumpling for garnish.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer with water brought to a boil, and line the steamer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving a little space between each to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Cover the steamer and cook the siewmai over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes, until the pork is cooked through.

Step 9

Serve hot, either plain or with a low-sodium soy dipping sauce.
