STEAMED CHORIZO DIM SIMS
Idea I had when I fancied a few home made dim sims but didn't want to defrost a large amount of mince / ground meat. I thought they came out really well and the chorizo gives an interesting but not overpowering taste.

Steps:
- Dice the chorizo with a knife or process briefly in a food processor. It doesn't have to be especially finely diced so a sharp knife will save some cleanup.
- Mix chorizo, garlic, ginger, onion and soy sauce well in a small bowl.
- Put around a teaspoon of mixture into the middle of each wonton. Exact amount of mixture will depend a bit on the size of the wrappers.
- Brush around the edge of each wonton wrapper as making with a little water and wrap into packages. There is probably a proper way to do this but I find the easiest is to fold left and right inwards, top and bottom inwards so it ends up square and then gently squeeze in the palm of my hand to form a rounder shape.
- They stick very easily so place baking paper into a steamer and prepare the steamer as per usual until steaming well.
- Steam for approximately 10 minutes. Because of the chorizo you really only need to warm through and not cook as long as you would with raw meat.
- Serve with sweet & sour sauce, sweet chilli, soy sauce or whatever else takes your fancy for dipping.

Tips:
- To make the perfect dim sim dough, use a combination of plain flour and rice flour. This will give the dough a chewy yet crispy texture.
- Make sure the water is cold when you add it to the dough. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
- Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the dough strong.
- When rolling out the dough, make sure it is thin enough, but not too thin. If the dough is too thin, it will tear easily. If the dough is too thick, the dim sims will be doughy.
- When filling the dim sims, be sure to not overfill them. If the dim sims are too full, they will burst open during cooking.
- Cook the dim sims in a steamer until they are cooked through. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the dim sims hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Dim sims are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. With a little practice, you can make perfect dim sims at home. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this dim sim recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
