Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 30 pieces Won ton wrappers
• 1 small Carrot, grated (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onions.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, salt, and white pepper to the mixture.

Step 3

Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well combined and have a uniform consistency.

Step 4

Place a won ton wrapper in the palm of your hand and add about a tablespoon of the pork mixture to the center.

Step 5

Gently gather the edges up around the filling, allowing the top to remain open, and squeeze to hold the shape.

Step 6

Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top and even out the filling.

Step 7

Garnish with a small pinch of grated carrot on top of each siewmai.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer with boiling water. Lightly oil the steamer basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the siewmai in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even cooking.

Step 10

Steam the siewmai over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fully cooked, and the filling is firm.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked siewmai to a serving plate, allowing them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Serve the sugar-free pork siewmai warm as an appetizer or a main course with your favorite dipping sauce.
