Dim Sum – A Delicious Stay at Home Recipe

As a stay-at-home parent, I’m always looking for new and exciting recipes to make with my family. One of our family favorites is dim sum, a Chinese specialty typically served as small bite-sized portions. This delicious dish is the perfect combination of savory and sweet, and it’s one of the easiest meals you can make at home.

To get started, gather your ingredients. You’ll need: 1 pound of pork, ½ pound of shrimp, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of minced ginger, 4 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 package of wonton wrappers and 1 quart chicken broth.

Begin by preparing the pork and shrimp. In a large bowl, combine the pork with the sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed then add the cornstarch. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated then set aside for 15 minutes.

Next prepare the wonton wrappers. Take one wrapper at a time and place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center. Wet your finger with water and run it around the edge; this will help seal the wrapper into a pillow shape. Place each filled wrapper on a plate until all are done then set aside.

Now it’s time to begin cooking! Heat the chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat until boiling then slowly add in each wonton wrapper one at a time. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until wrappers are cooked through then turn off heat. Serve warm with soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.

Making dim sum is an incredibly rewarding experience that my family loves to do together while staying at home! Not only do we get to enjoy this delicious dish but we also get to create lasting memories with each other in the process. Whenever I think back on all those times making dim sum together as a family I can’t help but smile; it’s one of my favorite memories as a stay-at-home parent!
