Siomai

2. Continue to mix all ingredients inside the bowl for another 4 minutes. Leave overnight in the refrigerator so all flavors seep in all together.
3. The following day, place 1 heaped tablespoon in the center of each wrapper. Press down gently with a back of spoon to make the filling compact without air spaces.
4. Press wrapper up and around all the sides of the siomai leaving the center open.
5. Arrange the filled wrappers on the plate of the steamer which has been greased. Do not crowd the steamer.
6. Steam for 15 minutes on medium heat or 8 minutes if one uses high heat. Be careful not to overcook so siomai does not end up too dry.
7. Garnish the top of the siomai with shredded carrot and cilantro (wansoy).
8. Serve with toyo and calamansi and chili-garlic paste.
