Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 4 Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 Carrot, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 100 grams Oyster mushrooms, finely minced
• 1 Egg
• 30 Wonton wrappers
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, grated carrot, and minced oyster mushrooms.

Step 2

Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Lightly beat the egg and add it to the pork mixture. Stir again until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean working surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little bit of water using your fingertip. Bring the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, pleating and pressing to seal the wrapper around the filling, leaving the top open.

Step 6

Continue filling and wrapping the remaining wontons until all the filling is used.

Step 7

Prepare a steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil. Lightly oil the steam rack or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the siomai pleated side up in the steamer, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

Step 9

Cover the steamer and steam the siomai over boiling water for about 12-15 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the siomai from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve with a dipping sauce made from rice vinegar and a touch of low sodium soy sauce if desired.
