The main ingredient in xiao long bao (soup dumplings) is a combination of minced pork and a gelatinous broth. What makes these dumplings unique is the gelatinous broth that, when steamed, melts into a flavorful soup inside the delicate dough wrapper. This creates a burst of hot, savory soup when the dumpling is bitten into. The dough is thin and pleated, and the dumplings are typically served with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, vinegar, and sometimes sliced ginger.
