Quick Xiaolongbao instructions
Chop the Japanese leek and onion finely. Add all the ingredients into a plastic bag and mix well..
Place a piece of gyoza skin into a bento divider cup and add an adequate amount of filling from Step 1 into it..
I learned that you can wrap it easily by folding the edges of the cup together. I did it however, with my hand, so they look like "gyoza" rather than xiaolongbao..
The TV program introduced a way to steam with a kettle if you don't own a steamer. I steamed in a pot as usual since the kettle-method seems a little dangerous..
If you don't have a steamer, use a pot with a lid that is slightly bigger than a flat sieve. Place a small bowl in the pot, add some water and bring it to a boil, then place the sieve with xiaolongbao dumplings on top..
Leave some space in between the xiaolongbao, steam them for about 5 minutes and it is done..
Though the TV program was not serving it with any sauce, I served mine with garlic soy sauce..
Chinese soup dumplings, sometimes also referred to as Shanghai Soup Dumplings, xiaolongbao, tang bao, or "soupy buns" (as it is hilariously translated on some menus), are a steamed dumpling consisting of a paper thin wrapper enveloping a seasoned pork filling and hot, flavorful soup. Each dumpling is pleated with many folds. However, xiaolongbao are not sturdy enough to squeeze and eat as they sit pinched between chopsticks. Instead, they will usually leak their delicious broth back into the steamer or, worse, over the table top. Fingers don't work, either, and it is instead a job for the chopsticks and the classic Chinese soup spoon.
