Shanghainese soup dumplings, or xiao long bao, may be China's greatest gift to mankind.They're also the ideal comfort food, with each glorious dumpling holding a healthy mix of meat with tasty broth. Yet the making of soup dumplings is shrouded in mystery.

In this class you'll learn the secrets to making great soup dumplings at home. We'll cover the basics of soup making, wrapping, and steaming. And we'll answer that age-old perplexing question: Just how do you get soup inside a dumpling?

Equipment needed - steamer set, skillet or wok, tongs, mixing bowl. I recommend a bamboo steamer set such as these, but you can also use a metal steamer if you already have one. I use an 8-inch bamboo set that fits inside a 10-inch skillet or wok for steaming. If you choose to go larger with a 10-inch set, make sure it can fit inside your pan or wok.
