Chef Saeng, our expert on Lao and SouthEast Asian cuisine, brings us these very traditional soup dumplings:
These soup dumplings were taught to me be Chef Iris in Hong Kong. It is a traditional dim sum course originating from Shanghai. The meticulous technique to wrapping the filling helps provide structure to hold the soup. The dumplings are filled with ground pork with a warm broth, and it can be dipped in a ginger rice wine soy sauce mixture. These are a wonderful snack to help ring in the Chinese New Year.
