This
section includes recipes which will tantalize the
taste buds without spoiling your appetite for the
main meal to come. Some portions and light quick
cooking are the secret.
Yam
cha recipes can form a meal in themselves. They are
a series of little snacks, either steamed or fried,
and are normally eaten at midday as a kind of
brunch. This is a meal to be eaten with a few
friends, as the point is to have as big a selection
as possible. The range of choice is enormous.
Dim
sum are steamed or fried packages made with wrappers
or skins composed of various kinds of flours, eggs,
bean curd, yams, bread dough or pastry, and wrapped
around ground meat or other fillings.
To
serve at home, provide a selection of dipping sauces
such as chili, soy, rice vinegar, sesame oil and
garlic paste which should be put in the center of
the table.
Tea is
the proper drink to have with this snack meal - the
teapot should be refilled as soon as it is empty.
