Step 1

Dim sum is best served fresh. Store any leftover dim sum in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a steamer or air fryer (depending on the recipe).

Step 2

Most of these recipes are freezer-friendly (either before cooking or after according to recipe instructions) and can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. For instance, you can make a big batch of dumplings and wontons, store in the freezer, and cook directly from frozen when ready to use.
