Hong Kong
These delicate meat and vegetable dim sum delights are definately worth the time and effort to make. The dumplings are filled with a stirfiried mixture of minced meat, dried shrimps, chinese mushrooms, chowchow and spring onion, and wrapped inside a pastry which turns translucent when steamed.
This traditional dish is always eaten in the restaurant in Hong Kong, as it is too difficult and time-consuming to make in the hustle and bustle of a big city. However, it is only in the quietness of the life in the UK that this complex recipe can form a family activity; a time of sharing, laughter and fun.
In addition, the leftover wrapper mixture can be doubled as 'playdough', to make different shapes...extending the family fun even longer!
Never seen such perfect shape dumplings :)
