Dimsum is the common name of an old, sophisticated Chinese dish that appears in many Chinese restaurant menus. Dimsum dishes share the same recipe as a thin outer layer of meat or seafood inside, steamed on small bamboo trays with lids. Dimsum can be eaten steamed, fried, grilled… but steamed Dimsum is still more popular. Cantonese people often choose steamed Dimsum as a nutritious breakfast for a long day of studying and working. Not too thick and thick like traditional dumplings, the outer shell of dumplings is softer, lighter and smoother. Dumplings can be eaten steamed or grilled depending on the preferences of each person.
