To make this even easier, I buy dim sum wrappers which are available everywhere. However, if you have the time, the they are easy to make – visit our dim sum wrapper recipe. Furthermore, the prawn mixture can be made in advance and chilled until needed. The dim sum need to be prepared at the last minute and served immediately. The benefit of dim sum is that can be steamed making them taste so clean and prevents the flavour being diluted.
