How To Make Jamei Oliver 15 Minute Meal Chicken Dim Sum

1. Make The Buns: Blend coconut milk and 2 tins of self-raising flour with a pinch of salt into a dough. Roll into a log, cut into 8, and place in double muffin cases in one steamer tray. Steam over boiling water in a wok.
2. Prep The Chicken & Broccoli: Slice chicken and mix with mushrooms, hoisin sauce, lime juice, and salt. Place into second steamer tray with broccoli and steam under buns for 5 minutes.
3. Make The Pickle: Peel cucumber into ribbons and mix with soy sauce, vinegar, and torn coriander. Scrunch with clean hands to soften and pickle.
4. Toast The Sesame: Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden and transfer to a bowl.
5. Serve: Cut remaining limes into wedges. Serve buns and chicken in steamer trays, topped with coriander, sesame, sliced chilli, pickled ginger, and extra hoisin sauce.

Recipe Tips

• Use Muffin Cases: Double up non-stick muffin cases to keep the buns shaped while steaming.
• Don’t Oversteam: Steam chicken just until cooked through—about 5 minutes is perfect.
• Scrunch The Pickle: Squeezing the cucumber helps it absorb flavor quickly.
• Have Sauces Ready: Set up small bowls with pickled ginger, lime wedges, and hoisin for dipping.

What To Serve With Chicken Dim Sum
