A couple of weeks ago I got a chance to try out the bamboo steamers that I got for Christmas. I picked up some frozen Dim Sum the day before at a market on Somerset between Breezehill and Bayswater. I can’t remember the name of the place off the top of my head but they have an impressive collection of Asian food.

Someday I’ll make my own, but not today.

We were pretty impressed with most of what we got. The BBQ Pork Buns plumped up verrrry nicely:

Here’s some Har Gow, pork Shu Mai and some seafood thingies:

Not quite as good as The Great Wall here in Ottawa or the Kam Fung in Montreal, but still a treat to have Dim Sum at home! Most of it was ready in 10 to 15 minutes, but the sticky rice took quite a bit longer.

A few things to remember if you try this: put parchment paper under Dim Sum that doesn’t have some already and don’t let your wok run dry!
