The Ultimate Dim Sum Menu Guide Dim Sum Central presents The Ultimate Dim Sum Menu Guide A REFERENCE FOR FOOD LOVERS DimSumCentral.com Headed to the dim sum restaurant? This is your guide to help you have a great meal. The sort of dim sum served in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia originated in Hong Kong during the 1950s. The vast restaurants filled with rolling carts and a cacophony of voices so familiar to diners in the West take their inspiration from Hong Kong dim sum parlors where families gathered regularly to drink tea, play mahjong and catch up with friends. You’re very likely to find all of the dim sum selections in this guide at the restaurant you’ve chosen. These are the traditional dishes that originated from Guangdong Province, timeless favorites with plenty of options for both newcomers and regulars alike. This menu guide is divided into sections for steamed items, fried and baked offerings, noodles and other specialties and desserts. Each entry includes a picture to help you identify the dish, a detailed description, the pronunciation in Cantonese and the Chinese characters for the English name. Print out this guide (page 3 for a simple summary version or pages 4-5 for all the detail), check off what you want and hand it to the waiter. It can be that easy. Happy dim sum dining!

  • Char Siu Pork
    Char siu pork This is a popular Chinese barbecue dish, also common in Vietnam, where it’s called thịt xá xíu. It is absolutely delicious with rice and salad, in bánh mì (Vietnamese baguette sandwiches), in steamed buns or just on its own as soon as you’ve sliced it. This recipe is thanks to Andrea Nguyen, author of ‘Into the Vietnamese Kitchen: Treasured Foodways, Modern Flavors’. Serves: 4-6 1kg pork shoulder, in one piece 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsps sugar ½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder 3 tbsps hoisin sauce 2 tbsps Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry 2 tbsps light soy sauce 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tsps sesame oil 1. Trim any large swathes of fat off the pork. Cut it into several fat strips – each approx 6-8” x 1½” x 1½”. 2. Whisk remaining ingredients together to make marinade. Add meat, turn to coat, cover and leave in fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours. Turn occasionally. 3. Remove meat from fridge one hour before cooking. Heat oven to 250C, with a rack positioned in the upper third. Line a roasting tin with foil and position a roasting rack on top. Place meat on rack, spaced well apart. Reserve marinade. 4. Place tin in oven and roast for 35 mins. Every 10 mins remove roasting tin from oven and, using tongs, dredge each piece of meat in the reserved marinade and return to the rack, turned over. After 35 mins the meat should be beginning to char in places and should read 60-63C on a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Har Gow Partial Recipe
    Har Gow Shrimp Dumplings Xiā Jiaˇo Makes 32 dumplings, serving 6 to 8 as a snack Well known by their Cantonese name har gow, these delightful pinkish-white morsels are among the most popular offerings at dim sum houses. They go fast, and I’ve chased down my fair share of dim sum ladies to get a fresh order. When I started making my own and realized that they can be kept refrigerated and frozen, my fear of har gow scar- city diminished. These are difficult to prepare only if you aim to produce exemplary diminutive ones, which most dim sum places don’t. Start out with ones that are a little bigger and scale down as you gain dexterity. You can even make these dumplings as half-moons, and they’ll taste swell. Use the best shrimp possible, and immerse the canned bamboo shoots in boiling water to rid it of its tinny flavor before chopping. To make the pork fat easier to mince, blanch it in boiling water for 1 minute, or until firm. Obtain the fat from fatback (I go to a Latino butcher counter) or cut it off a pork chop. Fatty bacon works well, too. Filling the shrimp into a bowl and add the pork 2/3 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined fat, bamboo shoots, and scallion. Stir with (9 ounces net weight) chopsticks or a fork to evenly distribute the 3 /4 teaspoon salt ingredients. 11/2 tablespoons minced pork fat or fatty bacon 3 tablespoons finely chopped bamboo shoots 2. in a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons minced scallion (white part only) 1/2 teaspoon salt, the cornstarch, sugar, white 1 1 /2 teaspoons cornstarch pepper, rice wine, and sesame oil, stirring to 3 /4 teaspoon sugar dissolve the cornstarch.

The history of Chinese cuisine in China stretches back for thousands of years and has changed from period to period and in each region according to climate, imperial fashions, and local preferences. Over time, techniques and ingredients from the cuisines of other cultures were integrated into the cuisine of the Chinese people due both to imperial expansion and from the trade with nearby regions in pre-modern times, and from Europe and the New World in the modern period. In addition, dairy is rarely—if ever—used in any recipes in the style. The "Eight Culinary Cuisines" of China[1] are Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang cuisines.[2] The staple foods of Chinese cooking include rice, noodles, vegetables, and sauces and seasonings.
