« Dim Sum Cards | Main | Review: Creamy Potato-Cheese Soup »
So now that you've got bags of frozen dumplings in your freezer, what do you do this weekend? Why throw a dim sum party, of course. Gather your friends, pour some Oolong tea, and impress everyone with your ability to cook up authentic Chinese fare (and your knowledge of proper bamboo basket usage). To round out the menu, drop by a Chinese bakery for buns stuffed with red bean paste and rice flour dough filled with sugared peanuts and rolled in coconut. (No Chinatown handy? Any Asian market will have Japanese daifuku - round, soft disks of sticky rice flour stuffed with red bean paste - that will do the trick.) And don't worry about saving these treats for dessert; in Chinese cuisine, the sweet dishes are served alongside the savory dishes to provide the most contrast between the flavors.
