My Chinese Sushi


My first encounter with Chinese Sushi was at the Dim Sum restaurant here in OR.  This cute little dish is new to me though I used to have Dim Sum back in my home country both in Penang and Ipoh.  They looked interesting and i tried to mimic it in my kitchen yesterday. 

Well, as what i have expected, the taste is no way close to the one selling at the Dim Sum restaurant, since i don't really know the exact ingredients to make the taste and i just give it a try.  Obviously, there are some ingredients that i have omitted to make it the exact same taste.  Anyway, i guess my chinese sushi has the look still, though the taste is not the same as the one selling, it tasted not bad and it was crispy especially with the sushi nori.  It was not a bad tried after all.  ;P

  • Pork meat, minced
