I haven’t had Dim Sum in a while. Your post makes me even hungrier.

Thank you so much Fei-fei! I wanted to say it had the same crunchy texture as water chestnut but I wasn’t sure. I really hope you at least have an asian grocery store where you are though. I always have the frozen packages of har gow on hand for my dim sum fix.

I love Dim Sum. The turnip cake look-a-like is actually water chestnut cake. I’ve made the same mistake before. There really isn’t Dim Sum around the Midwest, but my favorites are the turnip cake, har gow, and char siu bau (BBQ pork buns). Yum.
