Dim sum : touch my heart!

Dim sum is supposed to be lunch food only, something you grab in between business appointments. At dinner you are expected to take your time with your family. Since I am not burdened with either, I can do as I please. So when I'm lazy I just fix me dim sum.

I line a bamboo sieve with a banana leave. Its gentle scent transfers to the dough with hot steam and make simple lowly buns a culinary delight.

While the pot is steaming away, I make my own Thai-style dip:

• a glub of Thai chili sauce
• juice of one lime
• a clove of garlic, crushed (NOT chopped!)
  
• a sprinkle of fish sauce
• a wee splash of Kikkoman soya sauce
  
• chopped fresh coriander.

Twelve minutes and, voilà, lazy bachelor's dinner is ready!
