Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 100 grams shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
- 50 grams water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger, garlic, and egg.
Step 2
Season the mixture with oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Prepare the wonton wrappers by placing them on a clean surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 4
Gather the sides of the wrapper to form a 'cup' shape around the filling, leaving the center exposed. Press gently to secure.
Step 5
Garnish each siewmai with a small piece of finely diced carrot on top of the exposed filling.
Step 6
Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper or lettuce leaves to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Arrange the siewmai in the steamer, ensuring there is space between each dumpling to allow steam to circulate.
Step 8
Steam over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
