Steps

60min

1

Mince the carrots, onions and garlic. The finely chop the better.
2

In a bowl, mix all the vegetable, ground pork and shrimp. Then add all seasoning and sesame oil. Make sure to mix evenly.
3

Taste test your mix by frying one teaspoon on a pan with oil. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
4

Once satisfied with the taste test, start wrapping the meat with the siomai wrapper. (check out another of my recipe titled "How to fold a Siomai") The amount of meat should not overflow the wrapper when sealed. A good looking siomai has a rose bulb pattern. Practice makes perfect.
5

Brush a small amount of cooking oil on your steaming tray to prevent the siomai from sticking. Arrange the siomai so that they wont stick together.
6

Steam for 20-30 minutes per batch or until the meat is cooked and the wrapper tender. Serve hot with some garlic sauce on the sides.
