Xiao Long Bao (Little Dragon Basket Buns)


I give unto you, faithful reader: little soup-filled treasures

So how do they get the soup in the xiao long bao? They freeze the bao filling! Once the frozen filling is wrapped and then steamed, you have perfectly soupy xiao long baos. Careful when eating; soup may burn.

Enjoy with black vinegar and fresh ginger.

Nopes. I mean, I've had it on Pell St. It's good, but not the best!

you retard, the long doesn't mean dragon, it means basket/cage. now think about it, doesn't that make more sense, considering how they're made?

Joey said...

Ohh i guess that does make sense... but is WAY LESS COOL.

I'm sticking with dragon.
