Xiao Long Bao offer a unique savory and umami flavor profile, combining rich broth, seasoned meat, and a delicate, slightly sweet dough.
The broth is a key element, typically made from pork skin, chicken bones, or other ingredients simmered for hours to extract collagen and create a gelatinous texture when cooled. This gelatin is then chopped and mixed with the meat filling, which usually consists of ground pork, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, rice wine, and sometimes crab meat or roe for added richness. The wrapper, made from wheat flour, is thin and pleated to hold the flavorful contents. The dumpling is steamed, which melts the gelatin, creating the signature soup inside.
