  3. Take the dumpling wrappers out of the package and cover them with a damp cloth.
  4. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
  5. Gather the edges of the wrapper and gently pleat them around the filling, leaving the top exposed.
  6. Fill your steamer with water and bring it to a boil.
  7. Place the siomai in the steamer basket, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
