    Dim Sims (copy Chinese dumplings, steal the name from Dim Sum)

    dim sim with an i?

    looking it up they’re like halfway between a shaomai and a jianbao? which i guess can be dim sum items, so it’s dim sum with an aus/nz accent. dim səm

    do they have vegan ones

      No, specifically dim sim, rhymes with Jim. Dim sum I’d wager some people would think you’re mispronouncing dim sim, and others would understand it to be dim sum (which we generalise as ‘what you eat at yum cha’).

      Yes there are vegan ones but they wouldn’t be commonly sold at fast food stores. Dim sim are commonly found at fish and chip shops and are an accompaniment to that meal, or standalone snack. If you wanted vegan ones your best bet is finding frozen ones at the supermarket.
