Recipe - Dim Sum (Steamed Chinese Appetizers)

1 Three fourths Ground meat (beef , pork or
mix of two)

BASIC MIX
2 Eggs
3 tablespoon Soy sauce (light
preferred)
3 tablespoon Sherry
1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
One half teaspoon White pepper
2 tablespoon Sesame oil
3 Chopped little green
onions
2 tablespoon Corn starch
4 tablespoon Chopped water chestnut
3 Clove garlic, minced

EXTRA CONDIMENTS
1 One half teaspoon Red chili sauce with
garlic
2 teaspoon Spicy brown bean sauce
3 teaspoon Hosin sauce
1 teaspoon Grated orange peel

WRAPPER
1 pack Wonton skins

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 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. Steam for 20 minutes. Eat hot. Can be frozen and
reheated in microwave.
