1/2 ts Ground white pepper
1 tb Sesame oil
1/2 ts Msg

* Note: Available at most supermarkets. Mix together
all the ingredients for the filling; mix them well. Place about 3/4
tablespoon of the filling in the center of each noodle wrapper and bring up
the corners so that you have a little money bag. Leave the top open so you
can see some of the meat. For fun you might put 1 frozen green pea
on the top of each for added color.
Steam in an oiled bamboo steamer for 15 minutes on high
heat. Note: You can
also add a bit of shrimp to this dish. It adds a great deal of
flavor. Try about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh shrimp. Hint: Use lettuce
circles for steaming small dumplings. Simply cut iceberg lettuce into small
circles using a cookie cutter. Place a little circle under each dumpling o
r shu-mei. No stick and lots of flavor. Comments: These are easy to make
and probably the most popular dim sum I know. They resemble little
money bags and are offered at the Chinese New Year because they help
anticipate wealth. Recipe Source: THE FRUGAL GOURMET by Jeff Smith From the
