  • Associate Food Editor Claire Saffitz shows us how to make soup dumplings.
    Soup dumplings fall in the category of "delicious things we love to order when we're out, but would never even dream of making at home." Until now, that is. This dim sum staple may seem complicated, but it's really just made from three separate components: the dough, the filling, and the soup. Where things get tricky is in the process of sealing the dumpling with a series of intricate folds. Don't worry: We've got step-by-step video instructions and a tutorial on how to do it.

    I'm from Shanghai so I was skeptical when I see a white chef trying to teach how to make soup dumplings, but hey you did a great job and I'm really impressed. Just to clarify things, we never use soy source in the dipping because the soup is already very rich and soy sauce is not needed it kinda make it too much. and besides pork, which is the original recipe btw, you can be a little adventurous and add crab meat, lobster, mushroom, or sea weed into the filling, really make a difference with the soup.

    • @thegrynne

    • @ESPSAlita
      @ESPSAlita 7 років тому +12

      Truthfully, dough making can be a difficult process... initially. It's basically like any other skill: once you become practiced enough at it, it does start to become easier. Of course what this indicates is that you have to actually have the time, energy and interest to put into it. It really just comes down to preference.

    Just wanted to say that I'm super impressed with your understanding of its making and your technique is the closest to the asthenic I've seen.
    One problem though: dipping sauce is black vinegar + ginger slices, or rice vinegar itself. No soya sauce and definitely no spring onions included. Thanks for sharing the making of this delicacy. Cheers x

      I was also taught not to poke a hole in the dumpling either. But honestly, the more you get into eating an original recipe however you want, the more the culture gets butchered, if it's intended to be authentic. Fusion is understandable there's no proper way.

    I'm making some veggie broth and adding a bit of vegetable shortening and tapioca powder (gelatin that isn't made of bones) so that the soup solidifies and Un-solidifies again, and for the filling I'm using potato, carrot, cabbage, mushroom, and spring onions! Ahh I'm so excited :)
    I'll tell you guys who are wondering about my vegetarian/vegan attempt how it turns out, I think it'll come out great !

    • @AL__EX
      @AL__EX 8 років тому +30

      you can also try using agar-agar. it's made from seaweed, and does exactly what gelatin does, but vegan obviously. and might I suggest using mushrooms in both your soup and filling? it will make a nice meaty-like substitute.

    • @katiehu7390
      @katiehu7390 8 років тому +22

      For the filling, if you're going for Chinese flavors/textures, I'd try using chives and cellophane noodles.. Those are common ingredients that can be found in a Chinese dish called chive pouches (loose translation). Maybe look into dehydrated shitake mushrooms as well. Not only will they add great flavor to your broth, but they'll be delicious in the filling too!
      If you're set on cabbage and potatoes, I'd go with napa cabbage. It would probably be best with regards to the texture, but you have to chop them quite finely and be sure to squeeze as much of the juice out as possible before combining your filling ingredients. I'm not sure how you want to do the potatoes, but I definitely wouldn't mash them. I recommend baking them and then chopping them into very small cubes. The finest I'd go would be to rice the baked potato and to mix that in very loosely in the end.
      For the soup, I'd stay away from the tapioca starch. In my experience, once tapioca starch is steamed, it becomes cooked and solid, very similarly to corn starch. Agar agar would probably be your best bet.

    • @jelleesi
      @jelleesi 6 років тому +1

    Traditionally, scallions are not part of the dipping sauce. Typically, it's only soy sauce and vinegar in a ration of 1:3 respectively, with thinly julienned ginger. Some will even leave out the soy sauce. Usually you want to sip the soup before dipping the bao into the soy sauce and vinegar; that way you can savor the untainted delicious pork broth. Also before you munch into the bao, top it with some strands of ginger to brighten the concentrated meat flavor.

    Ok so just a tip for those who are having difficulty grabbing this. The trick is to pick the dumping up from the top, not the sides. The top is where the skin is thickest, so less likely for the skin to burst. The sides are all very thin, so if you're not careful, it will puncture.

      Desire When you have a cuisine that is over 10k miles away from its origins, you're going to see some sort of change. That goes for ANY cuisine in ANY country. Italian cuisine in America is different than it is in Italy.
      Don't bring race into something it doesn't belong in.
      Keep in mind, it's CHINESE restaurants runned by CHINESE people who make stuff like egg rolls, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, etc.. We just eat it.

    i believe the thing that made ba improve a lot is the editing, like it's the thing that makes the videos more funny and "human" i guess it adds a lot more comedy to it to see gourmet chefs making dad jokes and having existential crisis in the middle of their cooking process lol

    Watching young Claire after seeing older Claire makes me realize that she’s aged really well. She’s just gotten cuter and more refined with age. Love her ❤️
