Pork Soup Dumplings

Pork Xiaolongbao, or soup dumplings, are broth-filled Shanghainese steamed dumplings that are utterly addictive. Nom Wah’s xiaolongbao are especially so. The head chef at Nom Wah Tea Parlor has been making these delicious soup dumplings for nearly 40 years!

Opened in 1920 in New York City’s Chinatown, Nom Wah is the first and oldest dim sum restaurant in New York. Founded as a tea parlor and bakery by the Choy family in 1920, Nom Wah was originally famous for its mooncakes; dim sum was a secondary priority. Dim sum, which translates to “a little bit of heart” referring to its bite-size portions, originated on the Silk Road a millennium ago. Nom Wah was sold in 1950 to Wally Tang, who started as a dishwasher at the Chinese restaurant, and then passed on to Wally’s nephew Wilson in 2010. Skip the crowds queuing for dim sum and order Nom Wah’s legendary dim sum straight to your door.

• Serve immediately.
• It is best to leave them in the steamer basket in order to avoid tearing the dumpling wrappers during transfer to a different dish.

How Do I Eat a Soup Dumpling?

• Using a pair of tongs or chopsticks, lift the dumpling onto a soup spoon by its topknot.
• Carefully nip off the knot with your teeth.
• Allow the dumpling to cool for a minute or so
• Suck out the broth and then eat the remainder.

Pro Tip: Nom Wah recommends serving their soup dumplings with Chinese black vinegar, known as Chinkiang Vinegar. A popular brand they recommend is Gold Plum
