Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 100 grams, finely chopped Cabbage
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 20 sheets Wonton wrappers
• 4 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Chili sauce
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by draining the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap the tofu block in a kitchen towel, place a heavy object on it, and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a large bowl, crumble the drained tofu using your hands or a fork until it resembles a fine texture.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, chopped cabbage, green onions, and minced garlic to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Take a wonton wrapper and place about one tablespoon of the filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper to form a 'purse', pinching slightly to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or oil lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the siomay in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching, and steam for about 15-20 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.

Step 8

While the siomay is steaming, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, chili sauce, and water over medium heat.

Step 9

Stir the sauce continuously until smooth and heated through. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed, and set aside.

Step 10

Serve the steamed vegetarian siomay warm with the prepared peanut sauce on the side.
