See how we make our delicious, fresh xiao long bao!

Step 1: Make Dough
Believe it or not, our chef, Brian Yong, went through hundreds of version before arriving at the right combination of Mondako flour, water, salt, yeast, oil, kansui (lye water), and resting periods to arrive at our perfect recipe.

Step 2: Make Disk
Cutting, weighing, and shaping our dough into flat disks provides the best foundation for uniform soup dumplings. It's our dedication to consistency that makes our dumplings so perfectly delicious, every time.

Step 3: Wrap Bao
Each dumpling is filled with a special blend of pork, shrimp, pork and shrimp, or chicken, plus our savory umami-rich broth (the soup). Hand-shaping each boa adds extra TLC to your meal at home.

Step 4: Steam & Eat
This one is on you! We freeze and ship to you on dry ice and high-quality insulated coolers, which keep the dumplings at -10°F during delivery. From here, they're ready for your bamboo steamer, ready in just 10 minutes and perfect for the whole family as an appetizer, main course, or even a midnight snack!
