Siu Mei (pronounced Shoo My)
Why I Love This Recipe
These are my grandmother's version of a very traditional dim sum dish. She can no longer cook for us (she just turned 97!), so this is my americanized version. She still says that the way to really prepare the meat is with 2 cleavers, and not a food processor, or buying it ground
