This Steamed Dim Sum Recipe is just like the dumplings you would order in your favorite Asian restaurant and are served with a savory chili oil sauce that is all ready in less than 15 minutes! 

Serve alongside a Chinese Dipping Sauce for extra umami taste!

This is the Ultimate skip the take out dish that can be made at home for a fraction of the cost.

You can use almost any type of frozen dim sum for this recipe. I used shrimp dim sum and found it in my local grocery store in the freezer isle.

You can also find more varieties in most Asian markets. 

DIP in a savory or sweet sauce for the Ultimate flavor explosion. 

How to Cook Frozen Dim Sum

• You will want to start with a package of pre-made dim sum dumplings that are frozen
• Then simply place them into a bamboo steamer
• Bring a pot of water to a boil then turn down to a medium boil and place the steamer overtop of the pot
• You do not want the water touching the steamer (per say) as it may burn the wood. 
• Steam for 10 minutes till cooked! 
• You know there cooked once they are soft and hot in the middle.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce if desired!
