How is dim sum served?

Dim sum is often served in small baskets and shared with the table. You can pick them up with chopsticks and dip them in soy sauce, sesame oil, or chili oil.

Although dim sum is often considered healthy due to their small size and use of healthy ingredients like vegetables and fish, some variants contain a lot of fat and salt. Therefore, it's important to eat them in moderation and vary them with other healthy foods.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Put the freshwater shrimp in a food processor and blend finely. You can also chop everything very finely if you don't have a food processor.

Mix this together with the rest of the filling ingredients in a bowl.

Put the shrimp mixture in a bowl and place a spoon beside it and a small bowl of water.

Lightly grease your steamer basket with peanut oil.

Take a wrapper and hold it in your hand, dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the top side of the wrapper, place a mound of shrimp filling in the middle.

Fold it closed and press around well so you have a half-moon shape.

Fold the top side again into pleats and place them in your steamer basket.

Steam for 20 minutes with the vegetables.

Meanwhile, mix everything for the sauce together.

Serve the steamed dim sums with the vegetables and the sauce.
