Ingredients

Siomai Filling

2 cups ground pork
100 grams shrimp peeled and chopped
1/2 pc minced onion
4 tbsp spring onions, chopped
1/4 cup carrots minced
1/4 cup singkamas, finely minced
1 pc Knorr pork or beef cubes
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 whole egg
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp five spice powder (optional)

For Assembly

wonton wrappers, as needed
chopped spring onions and carrots for garnish

Cooking Method

Mix the ground pork, shrimp, onion, spring onions, carrots, singkamas, crumbled Knorr Pork Cubes, sesame oil, egg, and pepper in a bowl.
Put your index finger and thumb together to create a flat base for your wonton topper to rest on.
Place a spoonful of the filling on the center of the wonton wrapper.
Push the filling down inside the circle formed by your index finger and thumb to create that siomai-shaped pouch. Leave the top open and set aside.
Continue making the rest of your siomai using the same technique.
Cook the prepared siomai in a steamer lined with wax paper. (Baking paper or aluminum foil are also good substitutes.) Steam for 20-30 minutes or until cooked through.
You can enjoy your steamed siomai or take the extra step of frying them in an air-fryer to get that extra-crisp texture minus the oil.
To air-fry the siomai, brush the outside of the siomai with oil and place in your air-fryer to cook for 10-15 minutes at 180C/350F.
Serve with siomai dipping sauce and chili garlic paste.
