Dim Sum Quiz
I love dim sum but now that Chinatown is no longer a subway ride away, I'd like to make some of these dishes at home. But...I don't know what things are called. So quiz time. Here are 10 dim sum dishes. Give the name of the dish. Bonus points given to offering the recipe too (but with the name I can try googling for recipes). I know what some of them are called but I like having an even 10 questions on the quiz. :)

Re: <3 dim sum!
Dunno how helpful a Chinese search for these would be, but here's some of the characters in simplified:
1)虾肠粉
7)萝卜糕
8)韭菜饺
9)凤爪
I'm of the opinion that if you can get your hands on the clear rice-flour-based wraps used for the various Jiao (shrimp, leek, etc), and the 河粉 (Ho fen the white strips) for the various Changfen, then you're half done.
