f. Squeeze the bottom half of the dumpling to force some of the meat to rise, and

flatten that with your spoon.
g. If there's not enough meat, you can add some more and repeat.

5. Step 5: Steam dumplings
a. Fill a steamer with about 2 cups of water. Lay out the siu mai on a steamer rack

(with holes on the tray) so they're not touching.

b. Bring the water to a boil, then carefully set the siu mai in the steamer. Cover,
and steam for 10 minutes.

c. If you don't have a dedicated steamer or this kind of steamer rack, you can also
use a wok/pan with a lid, a wire steamer rack, and a plate. With this setup, steam

for about 12 minutes.
d. Once they're done, carefully lift the steamer rack.

e. Garnish with the minced carrots, and you're ready to eat.
