2. Make the Filling:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, salt, ground black pepper, minced garlic, and sliced leek. Mix these ingredients well to ensure an even distribution of flavors. Add the diced beef to the mixture, stirring until the beef is well-coated with the flour and seasonings.

3. Prepare the Mixture:
   Crack the egg into the mixture and use your hands to knead and combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until the mixture reaches a consistency that is moist but not too runny. The mixture should be cohesive enough to hold together when shaped.

4. Assemble the Somay:
   Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper around the filling to form a neat dumpling. You can shape the somay to your liking, either folding the edges or pinching them to seal.

5. Steam the Somay:
   Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Arrange the assembled somay in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Steam the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers have become translucent.

6. Serve:
   Remove the somay from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving. For an added touch of flavor, serve with your choice of dipping sauce, such as peanut sauce or chili sauce.
