Dim Sim
Khanom Jeeb
Like the Chinese dim sum, the Thai version is full of flavour and makes an interesting appetizer.
 

 
 
 
 
 

Ingredient
makes 2 servings (10 pieces)

FOR THE FILLING
> 200g/7oz white chicken or pork meat, skinned and minced or processed fairly coarsely
> 60g/2oz/1¼4 cup peeled prawns, minced or processed fairly coarsely
> 40g/11¼2oz/1¼4 cup finely cubed water chestnuts (available canned)
> 1 spring onion (scallion), finely chopped
> 1tsp potato flour
> pinch ground white pepper
> 1tbsp Blue Elephant Special Sauce
> 1tsp sugar
> pinch of salt
> 1tbsp vegetable oil
> 10 pieces wonton pastry
> 2tsp cooked crabmeat
> Dark Soya Sauce for Dim Sum to serve  

FOR THE GARNISH
> green salad leaves
> fresh coriander leaves for sprinkling
 

PREPARATION

Mix all the filling ingredients together.

Trim the four corners from the pastry. Take one sheet and place it in the hollow of the thumb and forefinger, forming a declivity. Place about 11¼2tbsp filling in the declivity and press together the top of the sheet to form an open pouch.

Continue in this way until you have made 10 Dim Sim.

Dip the base of each one in oil and place in the top half of a steamer. If you are using 2 bamboo baskets instead, place 5 pieces in each one.

Put a little crabmeat on top of the filling in each Dim Sim.

Place the baskets on top of each other, placing a lid on the top basket. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes over boiling water.

Arrange salad leaves on individual plates and place 2 pieces on each one. Sprinkle with the fresh coriander leaves.

Serve Dark Soya Sauce separately in small bowls.
