  • Soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, are delicate little dumplings filled to brim with piping hot pork broth. But how does the soup get in there, and what’s the secret to getting those perfect folds?
    We went to Nanxiang, Shanghai’s most famous xiaolongbao restaurant, to learn how they make soup dumplings.
    This is the first episode of our 10-part series about different types of bao in China. In the next episode, we’ll head to Jiangsu to learn about a giant soup dumpling called tangbao. Stay tuned.

    the best way to eat xiolongbao for me is put it in the laddle break it open, drink the soup, add some black vinegar and a thin slice or two of ginger on top of the dumpling then eat it right away while it's still hot/warm.

    Great video! Shanghainese people also call these Xiao Long Man Tou instead of Xiao Long Bao, because in Shanghai and also most of Southern China, Man Tou refers to a bun with filling inside and Bao is a bun without filling, whereas in Northern China it's vice versa. This is why it's called Xiao Long Man Tou in Shanghainese.

    • @luciankevi123
      @luciankevi123 Před 3 lety +1

      I don't think it's the opposite in north and south. In Shanghainese I only use the word mantou for all types of buns, filling and no filling. I just think there's no natural word that's the same as bao in Wu Chinese

    the filling and wrapper are simple enough but how do you get flavorful soup? i've seen recipes where they just use gelatin and canned broth but the flavor just isn't there.

    • @nightlam3419
      @nightlam3419 Před 3 lety +4

      Trust me, the wrapper is hardest part to get right. Thinning/tapering the wrapper outwards from the middle to allow more folds without the whole dumpling being thick is difficult. Good XLB is judged by wrapper.

    • @rainbowcat83
      @rainbowcat83 Před 4 měsíci

      Simple method to make aspic is using a box chicken soup with a package of gelatin boil it over a pot until gelatin dissolved into the broth. Put the cooked soup into the refrigerator to cool down for couple hours to form jello.
