In this episode I continue my journey with the Instant Pot, checking out how it does with steaming dim sum. It’s been so cold lately in #calgary that I was too lazy …
What stuff have you tried in your Instant Pot that didn't work out so well?
I bought frozen dimsum, almost same as yours… it was disgusting. Since then I always make my own or buy quality ones in a reastaurant 😅😂. The only good dimsum-ish frozen product to buy is japanese gyoza.
I do this too but slight differently and i always do shrimp shumai! It turns out perfectly. Try this.
Use cabbage leaves on top of your trivet ( no basket needed) or if using basket, on the bottom of your steamer basket. Put your dumplings on top of cabbage leaves in a single layer. Pour your water (1.5 cups is fine) over the dumplings which will drain into the bottom of the pot. You want to wet the skin of all your dumplings before steaming. Set time to 5 mins on manual high pressure. Then allow to naturally release for 5 mins. Then quick release the rest of the way. So so good! Great texture. It will never replace dim sum restaurant but will be close enough for the convenience of home.
I always bulk up on frozen dim sum from down town and then on days like that, which are lots since I live in the south, i do instant pot dim sum too!!!!
