I tried it without the shrimp. It turned out good. I like Giada's food and show but I always wonder why she waste a lot of stuff while transferring the contents from one dish to another. She just throw containers in the sink without emptying it. I feel so bad. But other chefs doesn't do this.

The dipping sauce was delicious but you can find better dim sum from a chinese restaurant.

I loved the dipping sauce! Everyone did!!

And I'm making this sauce from now on to go with ANY future chinese dish. It's so flavorful and just like in the chinese restaurants, even better.

As for the dumplings, I thought they were good. I liked them. But... I certainly think the ones you get in dim sum restaurants are better. They came out looking beautiful and I loved how the little chunks of shrimp inside the filling tasted.

I also love how Giada comes up with unique ways to make use of egg roll wrappers. I also saw her make ravioli with egg roll wrappers. Who knew they could be so versatile?

I made these today and they were great! The mix made a little more than expected but it was ok because the family wanted to try it fried. The children and hubby like their fried but I love them steamed:

These siu mai aren't like anything you'd have at dim sum, but they taste amazing and seem fairly healthy. I found that the cooking time was a bit longer than 6-8 minutes, and I also took another siu mai recipe's suggestion to use cabbage to line your bamboo steamer to prevent sticking, it worked like a charm! I used 1 tbspn cornstarch (instead of arrowroot and I might double that in the future for a firmer texture. Definitely will make these again!

This was GREAT! LOVED how easy they were to make! I used ground beef instead of shrimp. And I used wonton wrap's instead of egg roll wrap's. Will be making these again & again! My husband thought they were better than the one's we get from the Chinese place. This is a must try if you love dumplings!!

These were AMAZING, and so easy to make! They're adorable little Asian bites. I used less hot sauce since I don't like spicy food. I love everything Giada makes!

I made this recipe tonight and my husband and I loved it!!! They were very easy to make. I used a lesser amount of the hot sauce for the dipping sauce because I can't take spicy food but it still had a great kick to it and I would most definitely make these again. Giada's recipes are always great!

Oh, my gosh...these were awesome!!! I cut the recipe in half, because it was just for the two of us, but I wish I had made the whole thing. These tasted better than the shrimp dumplings at PF Changs. They were pretty easy to make too. Like someone else wrote, I also substituted corn starch for the arrowroot. That worked just fine. I will definitley make these again..And the dipping sauce was really great too.
