How to Eat China’s Biggest Soup Dumpling - Eat China (S3E2)

[@formosancube7675]

Nobody calls them the “baos” it’s like calling every Italian noodles “spaghetti” but they actually got fettuccine, linguine, lasagna. Same difference as dumplings, different shape different name. for rice dumplings it’s “粽”(zong) for little dumplings like 🥟 it’s “餃”(Jiao) for white bun with some meat in it it’s “包”(Bao) and these kind of dumplings in the video are specifically called “小籠包”(xiao long bao)

[@noone-cb3jm]

There's always something new to learn on youtube comment section.. Thanks

[@coldfrenchfry5181]

Yeah, it's kinda stupid. Why would they call it 'bao'? The skin isn't even the thick kind. It would be better if they called it '大籠包' or smt.

You're going *deep* by hitting Jingjiang! I make annual trip there during the crab season just for the bao. This is really unique staff that's unlike any other tangbao you'd have elsewhere - Shanghai included. Definitely _the_ tangbao for me that sits above all.

[@sophiay303]

When is the crab season in Jingjiang?

[@theolich4384]

​@@sophiay303 Roe in male mitten crabs, key ingredient in the tangbao, mature in mid November so the season for Jingjiang begins there and can last until mid January. It is when you'd find in various cities along the Yangtze groups of ladies extracting crab roe and meat by the street to make various dishes from tangbao to flatbread. Huge splash of orange and yellow and heaps of crab remains. Quite a sight.

[@MARTINREN1231]

I remember my first soup dumpling. it was in an eat-all-you-can restaurant and I picked one up (it was already plated in the large steamer). It was just labeled as "Dumpling" but I picked it anyways. So me, never even seen one of these, tried to lift it from the plate and made it burst. Not only did I make a mess, I also burned my thigh and fingers.

Don't worry. Spoken Chinese is less structured than standard/written Chinese. Simply put, people don't really care about the grammar. Plus the chef has a little accent. So there's no shame in needing subtitles.
