A masterful Chinese dumpling, xiaolongbao is made by wrapping thin dough around a beef filling studded with gelled broth and steaming it. As it cooks, the jelly melts into a hot broth that bursts out with the first bite.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

5 min

Knead the flour, lukewarm water and salt together until you have a smooth dough.

2

Rest the dough

5 min

Wrap the dough and let it rest for five minutes.

3

Make the filling

5 min

Mix the ground beef, diced gelled broth, ginger, spring onion, soy sauce and sesame oil together.

4

Pleat the dumplings

8 min

Roll the dough thin and cut small circles, place filling in the centre of each, and gather the edges into fine pleats to seal; work quickly before the jelly melts.

5

Steam

7 min

Arrange the dumplings on parchment paper in a steamer basket and steam for 7 minutes.

Reminder

Seal and steam the dumplings quickly before the gelled broth melts, or the filling will turn watery and the wrapper will not close properly. Allergens: contains gluten (dough), soy and sesame (sesame oil).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you do not have gelled broth on hand, simmer a bone broth the night before and let it set in the fridge; this step is the most critical part of the preparation.

İkinci denememde hamuru 2 milimetreye kadar inceltip pilileri daha sık attım, sonuç ilk seferden çok daha iyi oldu. Jöleyi de buzdolabında biraz daha sertleştirince kapatmak kolaylaştı.

Tarifte 7 dakika yazıyordu ama mantılarım biraz büyük kalmıştı, 10 dakikada tam piştiler. Boyutuna göre süreyi birkaç dakika uzatmak gerekebiliyor, aksi halde ortası soğuk kalıyor.

Jöleli et suyu elimde erimeye başlamıştı, mantıları kapatırken harç sızdı ve birkaçı açıldı. İlk denemem için umduğumdan zor çıktı, daha soğuk bir ortamda çalışmam gerekiyormuş.
