2. Incorporate the Vegetables:
   Add the grated chayote and shredded carrot to the chicken mixture. Stir well to combine. Gradually add the sago flour, mixing it into the filling until it reaches a slightly sticky consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

3. Assemble the Siyomai:
   Prepare the wonton wrappers by placing them on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the filling mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the sides of the wrapper up around the filling, pinching the top to seal it but leaving the top open. Optionally, you can sprinkle a small amount of shredded carrot on top for added color and texture.

4. Steam the Siyomai:
   Bring a pot of water to a boil and set up your steamer basket or rack. Place the filled siyomai into the steamer, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. Steam over high heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.

5. Serve:
   Once the siyomai are steamed, remove them from the steamer and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm with soy sauce or peanut sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your homemade Chicken Siyomai as a delectable appetizer or a main course. This recipe captures the essence of traditional Asian dumplings with a modern twist, making it a versatile and flavorful addition to your culinary repertoire.
