Recipe 🍳
- Mix potato starch with cold water to make the dumpling dough. In summer, use cold or ice water to prevent the dough from becoming too soft.
- In a bowl, add ground pork and pork fat. Beat continuously in one direction until the color turns pinkish-red and well combined.
- Once the color changes, add finely chopped green onion and minced garlic.
- Add chicken powder, seasoning, black pepper, and oyster sauce. Beat firmly again to ensure the seasoning penetrates deeply into the meat mixture.
- Melt gelatin and water in a 1:1 ratio, set it firm, then blend in a blender until smooth to create the fei dong.
- Mix the blended fei dong into the seasoned meat filling, then finish by drizzling sesame oil for added aroma.
- Press the finished filling tightly to remove air pockets, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to chill and mature.
- Fill the rolled-out dumpling wrappers with the chilled filling, pleating at least 18 even, tight folds to form a round shape.
- Steam the xiao long bao in a steamer with strong steam, adjusting time so the broth doesn’t burst.
- Mix ground pork, fat, starch, green onion, garlic, and seasonings together, beating in one direction until the color turns pink.
- Combine gelatin and water in a 1:1 ratio, set firm, blend into a smooth paste, mix into the meat filling, then refrigerate to mature.
- Place the filling onto thin wrappers, pleat tightly and evenly, then steam in a hot steamer.
Cooking tips 💡
- When making dumpling dough in summer, use cold or ice water to prevent the dough from becoming sticky and maintain its chewy texture.
- Always beat the meat filling in one consistent direction to trap moisture and seasoning between the meat particles.
- For the fei dong, use purified water instead of meat stock to achieve a cleaner taste and consistent quality in your xiao long bao.
- When storing the filling, press the plastic wrap tightly against the surface to prevent air exposure and preserve freshness.
