Easy

During an exciting Red Devils match, I mainly want to enjoy the company and tasty snacks without spending hours in the kitchen. These lazy dim sum with shrimp and crispy chili oil are the perfect example of that. All the flavours of classic dim sum, but without the hassle of perfectly folded packages. I'm making them with Frank Boeckx, and he was already a big fan!

We make the filling with succulent shrimp, fresh ginger, garlic, and spring onion. After that, all you have to do is place a dim sum wrapper over each ball, and the Philips Mega Basket with steam function does the rest. Finish with ponzu, sesame oil, cilantro, and crispy chili oil, and you have an incredibly delicious Asian snack that is guaranteed to disappear faster than the snacks during a won Red Devils match. These pair perfectly with mini burgers and buffalo chicken wings.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Place the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and roughly chopped spring onions in a food processor and blend until finely mixed into an aromatic seasoning base.

Spoon this mixture into a large bowl.

Briefly process the shrimp in the food processor until coarsely minced.

Add the shrimp to the seasoning base.

Mix in the cornflour and plenty of freshly ground pepper.

Stir everything well until you have a firm and flavourful mixture.

Lightly grease the Philips Mega Basket drawer.

Use an ice cream scoop to spoon equal portions of the shrimp mixture into the drawer.

Place a dim sum wrapper over each ball and press it lightly so it forms nicely around the filling.

Place the parcels close together, but make sure they don't touch.

Steam the dim sum for 10 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked.

Meanwhile, finely slice the spring onion and roughly chop the coriander.

Arrange the dim sum on a large platter.

Finish with ponzu, sesame oil, sesame seeds, spring onion, coriander, and crispy chili oil.

Serve immediately while still warm.
