Best Chinese Food In North America (Kam Wai Dim Sum In Chinatown) My Delicious Spring Roll Recipe

The iconic Kam Wai Dim Sum is famous for their value priced delicious dim sum and Chinese food. They are a family owned business operating in Vancouver Chinatown. You can enjoy their dim sum dishes in their store. As well, you can order some delicious frozen items to ham a little dim sum at home. Their dim sum items can also be found in supermarkets such as T & T Supermarket.
In this video, we try some of their specialties such as the Jumbo Steam bao. It's a fluffy steamed bun filled with pork, duck egg and Chinese sausage. They also served a delicious Sticky rice steamed in lotus leaf and one of our favorites, the shrimp dumpling known as har gow. Their char siu bao is tasty with a savory pork filling. My favorite today is the Tofu Skin Spring Roll. It's a chewy steamed spring roll using tofu skin.
In the second part of this video, we feature Mom's own recipe for Tofu Skin Spring Roll. Mom's version is grilled and it's delicious.
Mom's Tofu Skin Roll Recipe. It's like an egg roll, but the wrapper is made of tofu. Tofu skin has a crispy and chewy texture, when they are pan fried or deep fried. Easy to make and delicious for dim sum. Also called bean curd skin. Tofu skin can be be bought in the frozen section of Asian supermarkets. In other Asian supermarkets, they are in the dry goods section.

Dan ! Glad you posted about them..Their food is fantastic, they went through a remodel and the crew there is brilliant. They deserve to be appreciated...

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Definitely agree the food is fantastic. Do you remember when they did the remodel? Walking by, I seem to remember I could see the staff working in the front. I could be wrong. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@DeadbyDaylightDUO]

Great video, Dan! Kam Wai Dim Sum looks great! So cheap compared to prices in America! Fresh buns like that would be about $5 per bun! What a great surprise to see you and your beautiful mama cooking! Can those tofu skin rolls be steamed instead of fried? They looked fabulous! ❤

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Mom and I used to post cooking videos on this channel. Now it's all about eating. Yes, definitely the tofu skin rolls can be steamed and they tasted pretty good. Sometimes I grill them and then steam them after as well. Thanks for checking out my video. Happy cooking and eating!

Yummy 😋

[@karenl9601]

Is the dai bao as good as New Town's? New Town Bakery makes the best dai bao. I was devastated when they closed their Richmond location as I can't get downtown.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

I would say they both match up pretty well. The ones here cost less. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@petechandanatural]

To cool quickly, spread out the cooked filling on a flat tray.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

Thanks for a great tip. Thanks for checking out my video.

[@DanSetoChineseCanadianRootsTV]

They don't seem to sell the tofu skin where I used to buy them. I think it's under $10 for a fairly large package. Thanks for checking out my video. Sorry I didn't answer your questrion sooner.
