Dim Sims - Week 40, 2016

These thermomix dim sims are great served with a salad for a meal or perfect for finger food if you are entertaining.   Make sure you make my Sweet Chilli Sauce to go with them.

I will be the first to admit that I really love dumplings and when someone asked me to do a dim sim recipe, I was like okay that sounds great but I already have a dumpling recipe and I kinda couldn't get past the deep fried dim sim that you get from the service station on a road trip!  Tell me I am not the only one!

So I will admit I reluctantly tried this and I was so pleasantly surprised!  They were so full of flavour and being steamed is so much better than deep fried.  It didn't feel like a big greasy meal but was light, refreshing and certainly left us all wanting more.

Let me know what you think when you try them.

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 20g oyster sauce
• 1 small tin water chestnuts, drained
• 3 Chinese dried sausages, quartered
• 100g cabbage or Chinese cabbage, cut into large chunks
• handful fresh coriander
• ½ teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 500g pork mince
• 30 square wonton / dumpling wrappers
• 800g boiling water from kettle
• soy sauce and/or ThermoFun Sweet Chilli Sauce to serve

Instructions

1. Place garlic and spring onions into TM bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 8.
2. Add remaining ingredients (apart from the pork mince, dumpling wrappers and water) and chop 2 sec / speed 6. Scrape down and chop 1 sec / speed 6.
3. Empty the mixture into a large mixing bowl and add pork mince. Combine well with a large spoon (or your hands are very effective).
   No need to wash TM bowl.
4. Oil Varoma trays to prevent sticking.
5. Place a wonton/dumpling wrapper onto your hand and spoon 1 tablespoon of filling into the centre. With your hand, mold wrapper upwards to form a dim sim shape. Flatten the base as you place it onto the Varoma tray.

6. Once tray is filled, pour boiling water into TM bowl and place assembled Varoma on top of TM lid and cook 15 mins / Varoma / speed 2.

Notes

The filling makes enough for approx. 30 dim sims.
Mixture is suitable for freezing.
Chinese dried sausages can be found in the Asian/International aisle in major supermarkets.
