 Xiaolongbao is a steamed dumpling
that has a soup filling inside. To enjoy
these dumplings without getting 3rd
degree burns on the esophagus, due to
the hot steam inside, you have to pinch
them to let the steam out, then carefully
sip the soup inside and only then eat the
dumpling and the filling. remaining.
The traditional filling consists of pork,
and the soup consists of aspic that
liquefies due to steam. However,
nowadays there can be custom fillings to
suit everyone's tastes. They are prepared
especially in the Shanghai area.
 Despite the name and at least
bizarre appearance of this dish, the egg
is not actually obsolete for a hundred
years. In fact, it is also called the
millennial egg, the thousand-year-old
egg or the preserved egg. What it
actually is is an egg that has been
preserved in clay, ash, rice husk,
limestone and salt. The process takes
between a few weeks and a few
months. The result is that, due to the
hydrogen sulfate and ammonia present,
the yolk acquires a creamy consistency
and a greenish color, and the egg white
acquires a gelatinous appearance and a
slightly salty taste. The product is
considered a delicacy in China and can
be made from chicken, duck or quail
egg.
