Take the cabbage leaves and cut out the stalks. Place two leaves end to end on top of a piece of clingfilm.

Line the steamer with baking parchment, with some holes cut out to allow the steam to circulate. Spray the parchment with low calorie cooking spray.

With a sharp knife cut into pieces approx 3cm/1inch thick and place on the parchment inside the steamer. Top the sui mai with some grated carrot and a drop of hot sauce on each one.
