Xiaolongbao

Xiaolongbao, also known as soup dumplings, are a type of Chinese steamed dumpling typically filled with pork, shrimp, or a combination of both, and a savory broth. The dumpling wrapper is thin and delicate, and the filling is made with a blend of seasonings and meat, along with a small amount of gelatin that turns into soup when the dumplings are steamed. Xiaolongbao is traditionally served hot and enjoyed by biting into the dumpling carefully to avoid spilling the broth, and then savoring the combination of flavorful meat and savory soup. Xiaolongbao originated from the Jiangnan region of China and has become popular in Chinese restaurants around the world.
