Shanghai Xiao Long Bao
Xiaolongbao is one of the few classic snacks in Shanghai, characterized by thin skin, rich fillings and delicious taste. It can be seen in high-end hotels, snack bars, and breakfast shops. The most famous one is the Xiao Long Bao at Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop in Chenghuang Temple. Friends who have been here should have the impression that there is always a long queue next to the Jiuqu Bridge, waiting for an hour or two. Shanghai Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao has a history of more than 100 years. The filling of Nanxiang Xiaolongbao is made from sandwiched leg meat, without adding onion or garlic, and is prepared by just sprinkling a little minced ginger and pork skin jelly, salt, soy sauce, sugar and water. The skin of Xiao Long Bao is made of unfermented refined flour. The steamed steamed dumplings are small and exquisite, shaped like a pagoda, translucent, crystal clear and yellow. Every bite of a packet of soup will fill your mouth with saliva and delicious taste. If you eat it with shredded ginger, balsamic vinegar, and a bowl of shredded egg soup, it will taste better. Nanxiang Xiaolongbao is a famous traditional snack in Nanxiang Town, a suburb of Shanghai. Because of its small shape and thin translucent skin, it is steamed in a special small bamboo basket, so it is called Xiao Long Bao. I got some meat skin from the last time I stuffed sausages, and saved it to make soup dumplings once, or twice. The juice the first time I made was too thick, and I didn’t feel like biting into a packet of soup. I couldn’t bear to do it a second time, haha. As for the results, look at the picture!
