Dim Sum (Steamed Chinese Appetizers) Recipe

ingredients

1 3/4 ground beef or pork
1 package won ton skins

BASIC MIX
2 eggs
3 tablespoons soy sauce (light preferred)
3 tablespoons sherry
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 chopped little green onions
2 tablespoons corn starch
4 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
3 cloves garlic, minced

EXTRA CONDIMENTS
1 1/2 teaspoon red chili sauce with garlic
2 teaspoons spicy brown bean sauce
3 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon grated orange peel

directions

In a large bowl, mix meat well with remaining basic ingredients. Mix until smooth.

Separate mix into four equal parts. For each part, add one of the extra condiments, mixing well.

To stuff the dumplings, put about one overflowing teaspoon or pecan sized ball into a won ton skin. Fold into a shape. Possible shapes are a purse, fish, chocolate kiss, nurse's cap or whatever. Parts of the won ton skin that are sticking out may get tough, so keep this to a minimum. Use a different shape for each condiment so that you will know what is what.

To cook, place on top of lettuce leaf on steam rack (the leaf helps prevent sticking). Be very careful not to let them touch each other or else they will stick. Steam for 20 minutes.

Eat hot. Can be frozen and reheated in microwave.
