Chef Leung Fai-hung of the one Michelin star Hoi King Heen in Hong Kong is a man who finds inspiration everywhere, including at home. His award-winning pan-fried glutinous rice dumpling is inspired by his wife's Hakka culture. After some professional innovations, the result is a family style dumpling lightly fried on the bottom, plump with savory pork and peanut filling inside. The chef's many other inventive twists on traditional Cantonese favorites make Hoi King Heen a yummy place for dim sum lunch, although its barbecue pork and seafood dishes are equally delicious at dinner.
