Funzionalità Premium
Xiao Long Bao offers a complex interplay of savory, rich, and subtly sweet flavors, complemented by a delicate, slightly chewy texture.
The defining characteristic is the flavorful broth encased within the thin dough wrapper. This broth is typically made from pork or chicken bones, simmered for hours with aromatics like ginger and scallions, and often contains gelatin (or pork skin) which solidifies when cooled and melts back into liquid when steamed. The pork filling is typically a blend of ground pork, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and sesame oil. The wrapper is thin and slightly chewy, providing a delicate contrast to the rich filling and broth.

The Gentle Lift
Use chopsticks to gently lift the dumpling from the steamer basket, being careful not to puncture the wrapper.
The Broth Release
Place the dumpling on a spoon and carefully poke a small hole in the side to release the broth. Sip the broth slowly to savor its rich flavor.
Ginger Vinegar Dip
Dip the dumpling in a mixture of black vinegar and shredded ginger to add a tangy and spicy counterpoint to the richness of the filling and broth.
Eating with Caution
Be cautious as the broth inside can be very hot! Take small sips and allow it to cool slightly before consuming the dumpling.
