Ingredients

• 200 grams Chorizo sausage
• 1 cup Green cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 20 pieces Dim sim or dumpling wrappers
• 1 cup Water
• 0 Dipping sauce of choice

Directions

Step 1

Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and finely chop or break it into small pieces.

Step 2

Finely shred the green cabbage, grate the carrot, and thinly slice the green onions.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the chorizo, cabbage, carrot, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly to create the filling.

Step 4

Place a dim sim or dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Line a bamboo or metal steamer with parchment paper or a thin layer of cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Arrange the dim sims in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other to allow proper steam circulation.

Step 8

Fill a wok or pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the steamer on top of the wok or pot, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the dim sims.

Step 9

Steam the dim sims for 12-15 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove the dim sims from the steamer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili oil, or sweet chili sauce.
