An all time favorite snack or appetizers at are party are Chinese steamed dim sums stuffed with pork and spices.

Dim sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea.

Dishes may include meat, seafood, and vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate.

In the US and many other English Speaking countries, the word “Dim sum” is often mistakenly used as the name for Yum cha.

A dim sim is a Chinese-inspired meat dumpling-style snack food popular in Australia. The dish normally consists of a large ball of pork or other meat, cabbage and flavourings, encased in a wrapper. They are usually deep-fried or steamed, but can be barbecued for a crispy change. Dim sims differ from typical Chinese dumplings in that they are much larger, have a thicker skin and are shaped differently.

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

To stuff the dumplings, put about one overflowing teaspoon or pecan sized ball into a wonton skin.

Fold into shape. Possible shapes are purse , fish, chocolate kiss, nurses cap, or whatever. Parts of the wonton 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.
