The name "Xiao Long Bao," which equates to "little dumpling in a basket," refers to the flavorful broth that encapsulates the flavors of the different fillings and ingredients. Since the dough is hand-cut to precise weight rather than machine-cut, the thin and delicate skins of Xiao Long Bao are beautifully pleated with 18 folds. This results in a thin layer that is rolled to be thicker in the middle and thinner at the ends to minimize breakage while cooking.These days, Xiao Long Bao is a global sensation that delights palates everywhere. The chefs at Din Tai Fung go through a rigorous six-month training program to master the art of Xiao Long Bao, guaranteeing that every dumpling satisfies our exacting standards and provides outstanding quality with every taste.We at Din Tai Fung are proud of our distinctive meals, such our famous Xiao Long Bao, which is expertly prepared and bursting with mouthwatering flavors.
