Divine Dim Sum

The Sunday afternoon Dim Sum experience has been competing with the traditional eggs, toast and bacon brunch for a while now. I love the carts of steaming, bite-sized delicacies that are wheeled to your table for you to choose the ones that look appealing, and it’s a great way to try a new cuisine with friends. So obviously I was thrilled when President’s Choice launched their own authentic line of Dim Sum to enjoy at home. I tried the pork shui mai, shrimp har gao (made with wild shrimp), and pretty seafood flower dumpling at the launch in November, and loved them all!
With the trend towards ‘nearly-scratch cooking’ (which means combining store-bought foods with fresh ingredients for an impressive meal in way less time) these appetizers are right on the mark. Just whip up a simple Asian-inspired entrée while you steam the dumplings and dinner is on the table in a flash!
Now the bad news: These hors d’oeuvre are limited edition. Get them while you can!
