Dim Sum

Dim Sum

I have been getting organised sorting through the freezer and making a list of the meat contents which we are slowly working our way through – mostly to make way for more goodies.

For some reason I had a very small bag of minced pork too small for even bread-padded meatballs or haslet . Nick suggested dim sum which pre-baby we would often make together and eat for Friday night dinner .

They really are not that labour intensive to assemble we churned out 40 in about 15 minutes using ready made dim sum wrappers also from the freezer ( left out for 30 minutes to defrost) . Once assembled dim sum can be kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours before steaming or even popped into the freezer. They can then be cooked from frozen add 5 minutes to the steaming time.

I can’t wait til we can get Em on the production line but at 4 months

old she is assuming a supervisory role from her new highchair. Actually

we need to keep most of the food away from her as everything is

currently heading straight into her mouth for a good gumming.

Perfect fodder for when we have finally wrestled Baby Em into bed. Chewy and satisfying below are some pork mince recipes but it is fun to play around and tofu , mushrooms or chicken mince work well too.
