A Perfect Dim Sum Recipe- Chinese Food I Really Loved
Who doesn't know dim sum? Typical Hong Kong food that is small as a friend to drink tea. If in England we know a tea party with various sweet foods, but Hong Kong is different. Dimsum is a food that has a spicy and savory taste and has various types.
Various kinds of dimsum can be found in various Chinese restaurants in Medan. In my city, there are so many choices of Chinese restaurants located in every corner of the city. There are many famous restaurant names, one of which is the Nelayan Restaurant.
This restaurant is one of the pioneers of Chinese food in Medan and also has a halal certificate. Maybe because it is halal, so many people visit this restaurant. The most famous menu is dimsum, various dimsum and the like can be found here. Since then, in recent years, many people have been selling authentic-tasting dimsum, so that dimsum is known by everyone in the city.
I'm a dim sum fan, as a food lover, dim sum can't be missed. Dim sum has a nice taste and is savory and spicy, which is why I like it so much.
Since liking dim sum, I've been curious about how to make dim sum, what are the ingredients and also the technique for making delicious dim sum. I've been making dimsum for 3 years and I'm constantly learning to find the right flavors and ingredients, like in a fisherman's restaurant. Besides dim sum, the technique of making the sauce is no less important, it is the heart of the taste of dim sum.
I learned a lot from youtube and even suggestions from friends and family. It's not easy to make dim sum according to our tastes, besides that, the proliferation of dim sum sellers is a challenge to find a seller with the right dim sum taste, especially since there are so many dim sum that are sold at cheap prices but the taste is very far from the word 'tasty'. Therefore, after a long time of studying and gathering information, I was finally able to make very tasty dim sum.
Dim sum has many flavors such as chicken dim sum, crab dim sum, shrimp dim sum and seaweed dim sum. This time I want to make chicken dim sum with a simple, easy and fast recipe. One of the advantages of making your own dim sum at home is that it guarantees a cheaper and hygienic price, and dim sum can be used as a food reserve as frozen food that can make all family members.
This time I really want to give you the perfect recipe for making dim sum. Besides, my in-laws will visit my house and I will prepare dim sum as a snack to welcome them. Almost all of my family likes dim sum, especially my mother in law.
