      Trust me as a person who is will drop everything if you promise me soup dumplings i know how to eat them properly. I even know The best vinegar to soy sauce ratio that makes the experience even better. (I think it was 3:1 but i rely on muscle memory for that so idk).

    My maternal family is originally from Shanghai and this isn’t how we eat soup dumplings. You bite off the top of the dumplings so the heat can escape from the wrapper but the soup is still inside. Then pour small amount of vinegar and ginger insider the dumplings then eat the whole thing in one go! No burning and lot of flavors! 🤤

      I'm Chinese, and let me tell you, calling Xiao Long Bao a 'baozi' is like mistaking a superhero for a regular guy in a costume! Xiao Long Bao isn't just any old baozi - it's a soup dumpling, a culinary marvel! Baozi struts around in its yeasted wheat flour cape, while Xiao Long Bao is more like the undercover agent of the dim sum world, secretly filled with delicious soup. So, let's give Xiao Long Bao the respect it deserves and not mix up these two delicious but very different characters!

    A chef taught me to eat this. His steps were as follows:
    1. Pick up the bao from the tip using chopsticks and put it into a soup spoon but put it slightly inclined near the handle joint
    2. Use a chopstick to poke a hole in the bao so that the soup pours out in the spoon
    3. Slurp up the soup and then pick the bao from the tip, dip it in the dark sauce/vinegar/soy sauce, add some shreds of ginger on top and eat it from the spoon or chopsticks
    At the end, you can eat it anyway you want but the above-mentioned method was extremely tidy and clean. Hope this helps!

This particular dish celebrates a very intricate sort of traditional cooking which combines the filling of a dumpling with soup all packed inside a flour momo or dimsum. Again, I stress, eat it however you want. I personally try to get as close to tradition while eating any regional or cuisine specific dish such as this bao. You can always eat it however you want :D because that's the most important thing: EATING! :)

    Tips for XLB: A good XLB should be able to be picked up with the chopsticks without it breaking apart. If it breaks despite you picked them up carefully (ie the dough was mixed by some noob that morning), complain to the manager and get new ones. If a XLB breaks then you don't get the XLB experience which is to drink the soup within the dumpling before eating the dumpling itself.
