About


I love dim sum. LOVE it! But I never could quite figure out how to make the little packages…they look so dainty and scrumptious. So I gave the famous shu mai a try. Shu mai are typically steamed pork and shrimp tucked in thin wrappers. I tried mine with ground turkey. It was far easier than I had imagined so thought I would share!
