Celebrate Chinese New Year: Make Your Own Dim Sum!
Chinese New Year is this coming Tuesday, which means the Year of the Monkey begins in less than a week. Ring it in with a DIY dim sum party! These shumai, which are traditional fare on the dim sum table, are easy to make with dumpling wrappers and a couple of steamer baskets. Make the filling, then gather your friends and set up stations so everyone can try their hand at assembling and steaming the dumplings.

Round out the menu with other traditional Chinese dishes, such as green onion pancakes, five spice roast duck, and stir-fried broccoli with cashews, followed by hot tea. Happy New Year!
