Chinese Soup Dumplings, known as Xiao Long Bao, are delicate steamed dumplings filled with savoury meat and a rich, gelatinised stock that melts into soup during steaming. This Chinese Soup Dumplings recipe walks through traditional dough making, jelly stock preparation and the classic pleating technique required to create perfectly sealed dumplings with a burst of soup inside.
The secret to Xiao Long Bao is setting a concentrated stock with agar agar or gelatin, cutting it into small cubes and folding it into the filling. As the dumplings steam, the jelly melts, creating that signature pool of hot soup beneath the tender filling. Proper rolling technique ensures thin edges with a slightly thicker centre to prevent breakage.
