I decided to include two dim sum recipes on this page. Have fun and bon appétit! The homemade dough gives about 60 raviolis and each recipe gives about 40 each. I swear, they are amazing! Personnally, I love doing my homemade dim sum dough but you can also buy the frozen Won Ton covers, they really do the job!

Preparation

Preparation for the dough

In a big bowl, mix the flour and 1 cup of water until you form a sort of ball. If too dry, add a bit of water at a time until all dry ingredients are well stuck together.
Knead for 5 minutes until the ball becomes soft and non-sticky. Sprinkle some flour when needed to facilitate the process. Wrap in cellophane and let rest on the counter for 15 minutes.
Roll down using a rolling pin until it get about 4-5 paper sheets thick. If you are using the Kitchen Aid pasta extention, roll down until #4.

Preparation for the dim sum

In a big bowl, mix everything together and place into fridge for 20 minutes.
Cut squares of 10cm by 10cm of dough and add about 1 teaspoon of the stuffing in the middle. To close them, lightly moisten the sides. You can bring together the 4 sides in the middle then twist and press to seal them. You can also fold one corner over the opposite one and seal with a fork. Be inspired! It is important not to over stuff them otherwise they won’t close properly…
Steam in a chinese basket or on a marguerite at high temp for 7 minutes! To make sure they don’t stick, cook on a parchment paper filled with holes. Serve with a tamari soy sauce and my legendary asian peanut sauce!

*** Note that those are 2 different recipes so please do not mix everything together! Even though I am sure it would still be pretty tasty! If you have some stuffing left, just freeze it.
