Directions
In Mandarin, these dumplings are called ‘xiao long bao’, and they are the most popular on the dim sum menu. The origin of the name is not known for sure, but the dragon holds a place of honor in Chinese culture as the noblest of heraldic beasts.
According to tradition, there should be broth inside, but such dumplings are learned to sculpt for years.
Imagine biting into a dumpling and hot soup pouring into your mouth! Only the best chefs possess this art, you will rarely find such a dish even on restaurant menus. I offer a simplified way of making delicious dumplings.
The dough requires flour with a high gluten content.
Ingredients for 12 dumplings.
