Pork & Vegetables Dim Sims

In Australia, there is a Chinese-inspired dumpling-style snack food called ‘Dim Sim’. It looks like a very large ‘Shumai’ dumpling. I have tried it. It is not very yummy and I really don’t know what is in it. Why don’t you make it yourself with lots of vegetables? Shumai skins are hard to find. I use Wonton Skins or Gyoza Skins (Wrappers) because they are easy to find. Wonton Skins are thinner and just fine for these Dim Sims, I think.
