Ingredients:

• For the Siomay Mixture:

  • 500 grams (1/2 kg) chicken fillet, finely blended
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour

• For Steaming:

  • 1 package of pre-made wonton wrappers (store-bought)
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • White tofu, cut into small cubes
  • Fish cakes (known as otak-otak), cut into small pieces
  • Cabbage leaves, blanched

• To Serve:

  • Peanut sauce or soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

   • Place the blended chicken fillet into a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and tapioca flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

2. Assemble the Siomay:

   • Lay a single wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface or into a steamable mold (a cupcake pan works well). Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
   • Sprinkle some grated carrot on top of the chicken mixture.
   • Gently fold and shape the wrapper around the filling. If using a mold, press gently to shape the dumpling.

3. Prepare the Accompaniments:

   • Place the prepared siomay in a steamer or on a heatproof plate lined with cabbage leaves. Add the tofu and fish cakes around the siomay.
   • Steam the siomay, tofu, and fish cakes over boiling water for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken mixture is fully cooked.

4. Serve:

   • Once steamed, remove the siomay from the steamer and arrange them on a serving plate. Serve hot with your choice of peanut sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Enjoy this flavorful Indonesian delicacy as an appetizer or a delightful snack. The combination of tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and savory dipping sauces makes Siomay Ayam a versatile and satisfying dish that is sure to impress family and friends.
