A: Dumplings have an exterior shell of dough that is filled with a combination of ingredients such as minced meat, veggies, and spices. The dough is normally composed of flour and water, and the filling might consist of pork, chicken, beef, prawns, cabbage, mushrooms, and other ingredients. Dumplings are prepared in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, frying, and a mixture of these processes. Specific ingredients and processes may differ between cultures and particular recipes.

A: Soup dumplings, also known as xiaolongbao in Chinese, are a type of dumpling that originated in Chinese cuisine. The savoury soup or broth contained within the dumpling itself is what distinguishes them. Traditionally, these tiny dumplings are filled with a blend of minced meat (usually pork) and a thick, delicious broth. When bitten into, the soup is often made by adding gelatinized broth, which turns into a liquid when heated, giving in a burst of hot, savoury soup!

A: This is based on personal preferences and the type of dumplings being enjoyed. However, here are some popular and delicious options:

• Soy Sauce with Vinegar: A classic and versatile choice, combining soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar creates a savory and tangy dipping sauce that complements a wide range of dumplings.
• Chili Oil: For those who enjoy a spicy kick, chili oil adds heat and depth of flavor to dumplings. It pairs well with both meat-filled and vegetable dumplings.
• Black Vinegar: With its unique tangy and slightly sweet flavor, black vinegar is a popular choice for dipping dumplings, particularly in Chinese cuisine.

We recommend our Hao Sauce! This is a secret recipe that is savory and sweet at the same time! Remember, the best dipping sauce is ultimately a matter of personal preference. Feel free to experiment and adjust the flavors to suit your taste to accompany your handmade dumplings!
