小笼包 xiǎolóngbāo soup dumpling

Xiǎolóngbāo literally means "small steamer basket dumpling." It's a specialty of Shanghai. There is actually soup inside the dumpling! Only a civilization that has been around for 4000 years can achieve that type of culinary feat. And here, we Americans are making deep-fried Krispy Kreme hamburgers. Challenge!
Now, how do they get the soup in the dumpling? The Chinese make a concoction of meat and broth and then let the broth gelatinize. They then place the mixture into dumpling wrappers. When the dumplings are steamed, the gelatin melts back into soup. Voila!
