Siu Mai Or Siomai (Dim Sum Dumplings) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

400 g ground beef (pork with shrimps if you want)
1 medium onion, minced
1 1 scallions or 1 green onion, chopped finely
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup carrot, chopped
1/4 cup jicama or 1/4 cup water chestnut, chopped into tiny bits
1/2 cup mushroom, chopped into bits
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 dash ground pepper
1 dash salt
50 small wonton wrappers or 50 small dumpling wrappers

Preparation

Mix everything together thoroughly except the wonton wrappers.
Place a tablespoon of the mixture at the center of each wonton wrapper on top of your palm. Gather the edges around it, pleating it as you go, making an open flat top. Repeat with others.
Meanwhile, prepare the steamer by boiling water underneath it and oiling the racks.
Arrange the dumplings on top of the racks 1/2 inch apart and steam for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve with soy sauce or chili paste (if you want it hot).
