Happy Meatless Monday all you Cowlings.<\/p>\n

Dim Sum literally means “touching the heart.”\u00a0 It is traditionally served on weekends and usually\u00a0involves\u00a0lots of friends and family. \u00a0The whole meal consists of lots of small bites of food typically served in portions of three or four for each dish and the meal process itself can last for hours. During the Dim Sum meal, the idea is to socialize, eat, chat, rest, chat and eat some more. Repeat these steps till you’ve had your fill.<\/p>\n

Dim Sum originates from Hong Kong where there are at least 600 varieties of Dim Sum to choose from. Yikes – it’s like Asian Tapas on steroids. A lot of Dim Sum dishes are meat heavy and involves liberal amounts of MSG. This recipe traditionally calls for Oyster Sauce and MSG<\/p>\n

Here is a version, sans the Oyster sauce but is still tasty and won’t leave you with a spinning headache doomed for the couch (thanks to the MSG).<\/p>\n
