Instructions

1. Finely chop the 1 pound of shrimp (31/40) by hand with a knife, then mix in the cornstarch, salt, white pepper and sesame oil until well combined.
2. Place a wonton wrapper in your palm and scoop in about 1½ tablespoons of filling with a dining or butter knife.
3. Press the filling down with the knife while turning the wrapper between your thumb and index finger, so it wraps firmly into an open-top shape.
4. Top each siu mai with one small shrimp and a few pieces of minced carrot. Repeat with the remaining filling.
5. Lightly brush the bamboo steamer with a dash of oil and arrange the siu mai with a little space between them.
6. Bring water to a boil in a large steamer over high heat, set the basket inside, cover and steam for about 5 minutes, until the shrimp is completely cooked through.
7. Remove carefully and serve hot.
