I love dimsum! Who doesn't?
So, when I was preparing the recipes for my "Meatless Fridays", I included a dimsum dish.
Cool.
After I prepared the ingredients this morning, I realized that I've never tried homemade pot stickers.
Uhm, I don't know how to fold crescent-shaped dumplings.
Not cool.
I thought: Youtube tutorials!
Yes!
After watching five different videos, I was ready.
Not!
My kitchen is now a mess.
It's official, I can't fold a dimsum.
Sorry Aryanna, mom's not perfect.
When everything else fails [in folding dimsum], here's the solution:
Century Corned Tuna Open-Face Dimsum
Watchunid:
1 can of Century Corned Tuna |
1 small bundle of baby bokchoy (you can also use pechay, spinach, or other leafy greens), 1 lemon |
Dimsum wrapper |
Easy Peasy:
Step 1: Steam the baby bokchoy. Step 2: Mince the veggies using a food processor or a sharp knife. |
Step 3: Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Season it with salt and pepper. |
Plating:
Dipping sauce recipe:
EVOO
Tamari sauce
Garlic powder
Cayenne pepper or fresh chili
Whenever I buy takeout dimsum, I usually make my own dipping sauce to avoid the fat and sodium found in the soy sauce, chili, and garlic brew from fast food.
Drizzle the emulsion onto the open-faced dimsum. |
As indicated on my plate, you can serve this for brunch, snack, or dinner. |
You must try this! Yummy! |
I have a new found appreciation for dimsum. The next time I pop those yummy morsels, I'll be thinking about the cook who painstakingly folded the dumplings! Haha!
Shoppingero/shoppingera, what's cooking?

They look really yummy! I'd love to try this too. Your food and cooking posts have really inspired me to cook (corned tuna ala king and corned tuna burger), it has become a weekend regular for me. I made siopao last weekend and I'm thinking of making pie this Easter Sunday. :-)
Continue inspiring your readers, Jenni!
Cute and delicious!!! Sort of an "upside-down tuna dimsum" hehehe...
Century corned tuna is family favorite! You have so many ideas here and now i've got to try doing some :)
Your recipe is just too cute! I'd love to try this tomorrow. :D
These look so yummy! Now that I'm back at my home, I'll start digging up the recipes you've been sharing and I'll challenge myself to at least come up with an edible version.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Made a fried version :)
