Ingredients
- 1kilo. ground pork
- ¼ kilo. shrimp shelled and chopped
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium sweet onion, minced
- 1 cup minced carrots
- 1 pack wonton wrapper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- cooking oil spray
- 5 cups water (for steaming)
Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork and shrimp meat. Mix well using a spatula or long wooden spoon.
- Add the sesame oil, egg, salt, pepper, onions, and carrots. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are properly incorporated. You can even mix using your hand if you feel comfortable doing this.
- Scoop around 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon of mixture and place at the middle of a wonton wrapper.
- Fold the wonton wrapper to cover all the sides. Make sure that you leave the top open. Do this step until you are down with the last siomai. Spray cooking oil on the base of a bamboo or metal steamer to avoid the siomai from sticking. I use Palm cooking oil spray all the time, but feel free to use whatever brand suits you. If you do not have a cooking oil spray around, you can spread about a tablespoon of cooking oil using a paper towel.
- Arrange the siomai on steamer. Make sure that you leave a little space in between each piece to prevent the siomai from sticking to each other.
- Pour the water into the steamer and let boil.
- Steam the pork and shrimp siomai for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the steamer and serve with ponzu or soy sauce with calamansi as dip..
