Xiaolong Bao, or soup dumplings, are a beloved dish originating from Jiangsu province in China, particularly Shanghai. These delicate dumplings feature a thin, translucent dough encasing tender minced pork, often mixed with aromatics like ginger and green onion, and a flavorful broth created from gelled stock that melts during steaming. Traditionally served in a bamboo basket, Xiaolong Bao are a hallmark of Chinese dim sum cuisine. Nutritionally, these dumplings provide a good source of protein from the pork filling, but they can be high in sodium due to the broth and seasonings. The thin wrapper keeps the calorie count moderate compared to other dumpling varieties, but portion control is key as they are easy to overeat. To make them lighter, opt for versions with leaner meats or vegetable fillings. Pair with steamed greens for a balanced meal that celebrates the authentic flavors of this culinary treasure.
