Dim sum

Description

It is likely that the idea to combine the dough with meat came to different peoples independently of each other, but the most popular version remains that the Chinese taught the world how to make dumplings.

Cooking

Step 1

Prepare dough. Pour the flour into a bowl, make a depression in the center, pour water into it, stirring, first half a glass of hot, then a third of a glass of cold. Add oil and knead the dough well.

Step 2

Roll it into a long thin sausage and cut into small equal pieces, the size of a cherry. Roll out circles with a diameter of about 5 cm from them with a wooden rolling pin, and so that the edges are slightly thinner than the middle.

Step 3

For minced meat, finely chop the shrimp and bamboo shoots. Mix with 4 tbsp. l. water and the rest of the ingredients, except cornmeal, until a homogeneous mass is formed. Then add, stirring, cornmeal. Divide into portions according to the number of circles from the dough. Put the filling in the middle of each mug with a teaspoon, lightly press down with your finger, pinch the edges.

Step 4

Put a damp cloth (or lettuce leaves) on the bottom of the double boiler so that the dumplings do not stick, and place the grates with dumplings so that there is an interval of 2.5 cm between them. Cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Ready dumplings immediately serve on the table.
