- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Prepare the Filling: Begin by finely mincing the chicken breast. Shred the carrots using a cheese grater and finely slice the spring onions.

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, shredded carrots, sliced spring onions, cornstarch, tapioca flour, and egg. Season with salt, sugar, and a pinch of ground pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Assemble the Dim Sum: Place a spoonful of the filling mixture onto the center of each wonton or spring roll wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling, forming a compact shape. For traditional dim sum, fold and pleat the edges to create a small pouch, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.

Steam the Dim Sum: Arrange the prepared dim sum in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for 30 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
-
Cool and Store: Once cooked, remove the dim sum from the steamer and let them cool. You can store them in the freezer for up to 1 month.
