Low Fat Recipes - Steamed Dim Sum

Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb (110g) eggless wonton wrappers

  • 2-3 tbsp (30-45ml) peas

  • lettuce leaves, to steam

FILLING

  • 1/2 lb (225g) chicken, steamed and finely chopped

  • 1/2 lb (225g) firm white fish fillets, finely chopped

  • 1 green onion, finely cut

  • 1/3 cup (85ml) chopped water chestnuts

  • 4 Chinese mushrooms, soaked in warm water 20 minutes and finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp (15ml) salt-reduced soy sauce

  • pinch pepper

DIP SAUCE

  • 3 tbsp (45ml) salt-reduced soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp (15ml) white vinegar

Method:

  1. Mix all filling ingredients together. Place 2-3 tsp (10-15ml) filling in the center of each skin. Gather edges around filling in cup shape and press so that filling comes up to the edge of each skin. Place a pea on top of filling. The dim sum should have a flat base and stand upright.

  2. Place a few lettuce leaves into a bamboo steamer. Arrange dim sum on top with enough space between them so they don't touch. Steam covered 20 minutes. Serve with sauce.

  3. TO MAKE SAUCE: Combine ingredients in a small bowl.
