Dim Sum

These little packages of goodness make for a great appetizer, lunch or light dinner. I love to pair it with sauteed green beans and carrots. Super flavorful and fun to eat, I find I crave the combo of zesty chicken and tangy sauce every few weeks. Top them with chopped nuts and cilantro for an exra punch.

Ingredients

 

Filling:

24 savoy cabbage leaves, washed and softened until bendable in boiling water

1 lb ground organic/free range chicken

2 Tbsp thinly sliced scallions

2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

½ tsp grated fresh ginger

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

​

Sauce:

¼ cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce + 1 Tbsp honey)

Juice of 1 large lime

1 small garlic clove, pressed or minced

1 tsp grated fresh ginger

Optional: Splash to taste of hot chili sesame oil

 

Directions

From the thick end of the cabbage leaf, fill with 1-2 tablespoons of meat filling mixture (depending on size of cabbage leaf). Tuck in sides and roll to rest on the seam. Fill a streamer pot with water. Line the steamer basket with rolled dim sum. Cover and cook at medium temperature for about 20 minutes. To serve, place dim sum in a shallow bowl, spoon a few tablespoons of sauce and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, roasted cashews and extra scallions.
