Classic Deem Sum

Summary: Classic "Deem Sum" as Viewed by a Western Reader
Review: An excellent starter guide to dim sum, with recipes for steamed, pan-fried, roasted, and (of course) deep-fried dishes. Excellent recipe for pork bun filling (although not a great dough recipe); lotus leaf ("sticky") rice; crab cheese wontons ("crab rangoon"); turnip cakes; har gow; and custard tarts.

For the best baked bun dough, consult The Dim Sum Book. For steamed bun dough, consult The Chinese People's Cookbook. However, use the filling from this book as it's more authentic in flavor.

Enjoy!
