How to make Budget & Simple Steps Dim Sum
To make dough, sift flour in bowl, add boiling water, followed by cold water & vegetable oil. Mix to form dough & knead until the surface is smooth.
Equally divide dough into 18-20pcs, shape into circles, now use your finger & pinch the dough to thin layer.
For filling, mix all the ingredients together & stir well.
Place a little of the filling in the centre of the dim sum circle, pinch the edge to form a small string-purse.
Place a towel on a steamer before placing the dim sum on it, steam for 10mins.
