'Dim Sum' is not a specific dish, but rather a category of dishes described by Chinese-American chef Martin Yan as 'tiny packages'. The dim sum - meaning 'touch the heart' - were originally created to be served along with Chinese tea tradition of Yum cha, which originated in tea houses along the ancient Chinese Silk Road, as a place for travelers to rest and refresh themselves. Dim sum are small, bite-sized portions which can include any kind of meat, vegetables, and/or seafood.
