Whats For Supper???

[vinesqueen 2]

Hey Paula, dim sum is what I think of when I hear "chinese dumpling," although I suppose a won ton would be more in keeping with dumpling. Dim sum are wonderful little tit-bits of Chinese delicasies. There have only been a few I've not liked, but I've also never had the nerve to try the chicken feet.

Tonight, brased lamb shank in a Tomato and rosemary sauce, second half of the artichoke, and either the popcicle or a pudding.

I got a pm from canadian - giving me the receipe for chinese dumplings! This sounds too good to keep to myself, so I wanted to share it with everyone else!

well it was my own little version of chinese dumplingsi took some napa cabbage and boiled the leaves till they were soft enough to fold(like a cabbage roll)

then i set them in cold Water to firm them up again

then i mixed

lb of ground chicken

green onions

a bit of salt

some seasame seeds (not to much)

hoisen sauce (bout 2 tbsp)

1 egg

2 tbsp of flour

and if u like the zip 1 thai chili seeds out and chopped real fine, if u can't find a thai chili, use a jalapeno or a scotch bonnet

then i mixed it all together and cut each cabbage leaf in half to make 2 dumplings

i used a tbsp or 2 of the mix then roll up the dumplings

they should be no bigger then the size of a golf ball

then i steamed them in a steamer basket for 10 mins

and dipped them in red pepper jelly that i warmed up

real tasty

hope you try them....
