Do you like dim sum?  Did you know that the two words in Chinese means “touch the heart?”

They are always served in small satisfying amounts to warm the heart and appease the stomach and there is a wide array to choose from such as ha-gow, siu-my, fun-gore (steamed dumplings) beef balls, barbeque pork buns, noodle rolls and even small dishes of black bean spareribs, broccoli and chow mein.

    Add heavy cream and use a hand blender to mix and smooth out the texture. Unless you want it to remain chunky style then don’t use the "boat motor".
