When I eat the soup dumpling, I normally just put the whole thing in my mouth bc I like it when the soup bursts in my mouth. It burns a lot but it's SO good imo.

You should try it. Its so yummy. 😋😋 They didn't literally pour the soup inside the dumpling, actually the dumpling itself produce the soup from the meat filling. Is that makes sense to you? Please excuse my English or explanation.😆

I poke a little hole near the top so the filling can cool a bit so it doesn’t burn me. Since there’s not loads of liquid it doesn’t take too long! I really really love the burst of soup when you bite in, so I don’t pour it out. Defeats the purpose of putting it IN the dumpling to begin with, if you ask me!

Soup buns are actually called 灌汤包 guàn tāng bāo, literally means soup filled buns. Xiao Long Bao can be juicy but won’t be as juicy as a guan tang bao and their fillings and buns are very different, involving different ingredients and process to make.

[@bananaab3156]

Yep, xiao long boa just means tiny buns.

[@erikajoyal765]

Ouuu interesting

[@tachibana_tanya]

@@autotomie7074 they technically aren't the same thing. They are very similar in that they both have similar fillings and have soup in them but the main differences are things like size, preparation and ingredients used. 灌汤包 is bigger than 小笼包 because usually the skin of a 灌汤包 is not eaten. It is simply there to hold the filling and soup which is why (this is an assumption) op is saying that 灌汤包 are much "jucier" than 小笼包. The larger ones are also usually served individually rather than in multiples in the steamer baskets you use for 小笼包. As for ingredients, the skin of the 小笼包 is actually made with flour that contains leavening agents (that's what the recipe calls for at least) while the ones for 汤罐包 aren't which results in different textures and appearance of the final result of both as well.

I’ve only had soup dumplings once. I didn’t eat it right I think because I burnt my mouth and I didn’t enjoy it. I’ll try to follow your instructions the next time I try them. Your video has definitely made me want to try them again.

[@mdzs_butterfly6111]

please do! they are soooo good, I grew up eating the ones made by my grandmother, and now that she's back in china I regret not asking her how to make them because the store bought ones just aren't as good.

[@sqwidished]

Yeah, I did that too before, my way to eat them is to tilt it so the soup inside flows to one side. Then bite a small hole into the side and proceed to suck out the juice. Then you can eat the whole dumpling without worrying about burning yourself.

[@c001Ba30nDuD]

That's not the right way. Literally, blow on it or eat it slowly. Drinking the soup first defeats the purpose of even putting the soup into the dumpling to begin with. I've not burnt my mouth eating this as all I did was blow onto the dumpling

[@toohottohandle0_0]

It's not difficult to make! If you're not a fan of pork, which most of the recipes are, you can use powdered flavorless gelatin to get different soups rich enough. They're not hard to make at all!

[@UncleKazzy]

Cries in vegetarian. I would LOVE to try these but where I live we don't really have a lot of asian restaurants. Though some have been popping up here and there. But even still I doubt that I would be able to eat these :((

[@BlueCLupei]

As someone who used to eat these every chance I got before going veg, be careful because some (most places) actually use gelatin to make the broth solid. A broth no matter how far you cook it down wouldn't be able to go from solid back to liquid if you remove all the water through the prep like she suggests. I've considered learning to make them myself at home and using agar agar or some kind of freezing method, but I've yet to be successful

[@divx1001]

@@BlueCLupei some places use gelatin because they're lazy not because it's impossible to do. Your second statement made non sense. If you make broth out of bones and ligaments, your broth will be very gelatinous and it's enough to cool it down to have it completely solidified. Look up Russian "kholodets" which is basically seasoned and chilled bone broth cut into solid cubes. Also, FYI the packed gelatin is literally the same gelatin that any animal bones produce, it's just in powder form.

[@BlueCLupei]

@@divx1001 I was referring to a vegetable broth since we don't eat meat. My bad if that was confusing, I'm used to referring to vegetarian things as the norm it's been so long

[@ineedanormalusernamesoidon4553]

@@BlueCLupei I believe the traditional ones aren't supposed to use gelatin, i think they freeze the soup and put them into the dumpling along with other fillings so they'll melt when it's steamed :)
