Guangdong-Shrimp-DumplingsRegular readers know that, on the whole, I don't post links except to my own work. But I just came across this video from Tasting Table. It's from the third generation of the family that owns the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in New York. Nom Wah has been operating just shy of a hundred years; they opened in 1920. Wilson Tang has been upgrading their media and remodeled the kitchen when he took over. The front of the house remains pretty much unchanged. It's a traditional menu, with things like shrimp dumplings and char siu bao, my favorite. They're those fluffy steamed buns filled with barbecue pork. But here he is talking about how to eat dim sum. Very interesting, things like chopsticks or fingers, soy sauce or not, and how to pronounce things. 

 

Maybe for this weekend?
