How to Make Low Cal Vegetable Siew Mai

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.), 1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well.
Gently fill 8-10 wonton wrappers with the vegetable mixture, ensuring each wrapper is about 1/4 full. Carefully pleat and seal each wrapper to prevent the filling from spilling out during steaming.
Garnish each siew mai with a small piece of cherry tomato.
If wonton wrappers are unavailable, prepare your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup water to form a smooth and elastic dough. Knead for 5 minutes, then roll out thinly and cut into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
Place the assembled siew mai in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Alternatively use an idli steamer.
Steam over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is heated through.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or a soy-ginger dipping sauce.
