Pork and Vegetable Dumpling (Potstickers)
These hearty, homey dumplings were from northern China where they functioned as main meals, together with noodles. In Dim Sum eating, they are often served on trolleys with hot plates where the server fries up a few beside your table. Before non-stick pans, these do stick to the pot (or wok) when the frying is done.

(pronounced ha ku-en)
This is a variation on the "roll" idea: instead of meat, a shrimp filling is wrapped in spring roll pastry and fried, and voila! an elegant and crispy Dim Sum. Even though the shrimp roll is a newcomer to the Dim Sum menu, it will no doubt become a star on home-entertaining menus.
