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.

Martin Yen? As in Yan? As in Yan Can Cook? Which completely appears to not exist on the internet?

:-)
I have been searching high and low for copies of Yan Can Cook, I wonder if I should be looking for Yen Can Cook...

And having had that mini rant, I did another search... and this time found some info!

F*ck!

I used google in so many ways the last time I went looking, I SWEAR i couldn't find a thing!
*sigh*

I've done this to. Usually after insisting my boyfriend is out of his mind. I poked around on amazon and found that "Yan Can Cook Book" had used copies priced at 29 cents! (http://tinyurl.com/7d8ej) And his more recent book "The Best of Yan Can Cook" is selling for $14-15 though. (http://tinyurl.com/dy8qd) User reviews of his books seem to be mixed. I was always a little put off by his clowning on his show (the same way I wish Alton Brown wouldn't do those goofy skits) and haven't really looked at his recipes. Should I be?
