   • Lightly brush each siomay wrapper with oil to prevent sticking and to make them easier to handle.

3. Assemble the Siomay:

   • Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto the center of each wrapper.
   • Fold the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, leaving the top exposed. This will give the siomay its classic shape.
   • Sprinkle a small amount of the reserved grated carrot on top of each siomay for garnish.

4. Steam the Siomay:

   • Preheat a steamer.
   • Arrange the siomay in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even cooking.
   • Steam the siomay over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

5. Serve:

   • Remove the siomay from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
   • Serve the siomay warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with a dash of sesame oil or a spicy chili sauce.

Notes

• Blending and Chopping: Ensure that the chicken and garlic are well blended to create a smooth mixture, while the shrimp should be coarsely chopped to retain some texture in the filling.
• Siomay Wrappers: Siomay wrappers can usually be found in the frozen section of Asian grocery stores. If you can’t find siomay wrappers, you can use wonton wrappers as a substitute.
• Steamer: If you don’t have a traditional steamer, you can use a makeshift steamer by placing a heatproof plate on a rack inside a large pot with a lid.
