Jung Ji-sun's Mala Cream Shrimp Dim Sum
This is Jung Ji-sun's signature Mala Cream Shrimp Dim Sum, adapted from her highly technical dish showcased on Netflix's Culinary Class Wars. As South Korea's premier female Chinese cuisine master chef, she combined classic dim sum wrapper technique with a modern, spicy Sichuan peppercorn mala cream sauce. The result is a perfect fusion of juicy, plump minced shrimp wrapped in delicate dough, steamed to perfection, and dressed in a sweet, tingling, creamy Sichuan peppercorn sauce.
