INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Available at most supermarkets. Mix together
all the ingredients for the filling; mix them well. Place about 3/4
tablespoon of the filling in the center of each noodle wrapper and
bring up the corners so that you have a little money bag. Leave the
top open so you can see some of the meat. For fun you might
put 1 frozen green pea on the top of each for added color.
Steam in an oiled bamboo steamer for 15 minutes on high heat. Note:
You can also add a bit of shrimp to this dish. It adds a
great deal of flavor. Try about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh shrimp. Hint:
Use lettuce circles for steaming small dumplings. Simply cut iceberg
lettuce into small circles using a cookie cutter. Place a little
circle under each dumpling o r shu-mei. No stick and lots of flavor.
Comments: These are easy to make and probably the most popular
dim sum I know. They resemble little money bags and are offered at the
Chinese New Year because they help anticipate wealth. Recipe Source:
