Dim Sum Quiz

[fitfool]

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. :)

	1. The white part is slippery and is filled with shrimp. The soy sauce is slightly thicker and sweet. This is my Favorite dish.		2. Crunchy deep-fried something.
	3. I don't see these as often but I liked them.		4. some kind of shrimp filling
	5. a greyish purplish inside with consistency of mashed potatoes. Outside is crispy.		6. Lots of shrimp inside.
	7. My mom made these when we were kids.		8. filled with shrimp
	9. These are more trouble to eat than they're worth though they are tasty.		10. Warm and eaten as dessert. Slippery feeling.

1. Thanks for the har gau recipe! I have a sudden need for all of these different kinds of starch. This should make for a fun scavenger hunt next time I go to Chinatown.

2. I don't think I've gotten a name for this dish but I think I could approximate it using recipes for the other dishes since the shrimp filling inside tasted the same as some others.

4. mmmm....Foo Jook them. I'll keep an eye out for it.

5. Awesome. Thanks for the taro recipe! Now to figure out where to buy taro...

7. Going by the majority answer, seems to be Lor Bak Gow or Law Bok Goh. Chinese Turnip Cake

9. Wow. where does she even buy chicken feet? Or can you get that in Chinatown too?

10. Oooh... jezebe1 posted a link to one recipe (though that one involves an automatic soymilk maker...) but the rest sounds like that that stuff was.

You may be able to find Taro in Chinatown. I know I could find it in the 99 Ranch Market in Irvine, California and occasionally in Bristol Market, or Trader Joes there. In Texas I can usually get some Taro root from Central Market and sometimes at the larger H-E-Bs. I think I saw some in Chinatown in Boston.
