Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground chicken
• 150 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large Egg
• 12 pieces Cabbage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Almond flour
• 1 piece Lime, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the ground chicken and shrimp, and pulse until finely chopped and well mixed.

Step 2

Transfer the chicken and shrimp mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, salt, black pepper, chopped green onions, grated carrot, and almond flour. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cabbage leaves and blanch for about 2 minutes or until they are slightly softened. Remove them and immediately place them in ice water to stop further cooking. Pat dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Step 4

Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface and place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center. Carefully wrap the filling with the leaf, folding it like a little parcel. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 5

Arrange the wrapped siomay in a single layer in a steamer basket, making sure they are not crowded. Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the siomay from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 7

Serve the Paleo Siomay warm, garnished with lime slices for squeezing over to taste.
