These sheng jian bao were like xiao long bao (XLB) (soup- and meat-filled
dumplings with a noodle wrap) but fried on one side. There were tons of
milky broth inside these dumplings--more than in many XLBs I've had,
which are known as the soup-filled dumplings--, though the broth was too
rich and fatty for my liking.
These sheng jian bao are nothing
like the ones I
get from Flushing. Those, while also slightly fried, have more of a
bready wrapper and a relatively little bit of liquid inside.
