Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings)

Shanghai's most famous contribution to Chinese cuisine, these intricately pleated steamed dumplings conceal a juicy pork filling surrounded by a rich, collagen-laden broth that liquefies during steaming. Each delicate bite delivers a burst of hot, savoury soup followed by tender seasoned pork.
