　　Fresh Meat Xiao Long Bao

　　Making fresh meat xiao long bao involves meticulous selection of ingredients. The main ingredients are pork and flour. The pork should be thin-skinned pork from the front belly area; the flour must be premium white wheat flour, with a small amount of pork skin added. In the preparation process, the pork is minced into a paste, the pork skin is finely chopped and turned into pork skin jelly, then combined with seasonings such as MSG, soy sauce, and salt, and mixed thoroughly with the pork paste. The flour is made into dough wrappers, which are filled with the mixture, shaped into pleated buns, and then steamed in bamboo steamers until cooked.

　　The highlight of this famous dish is its thin, soft wrapper, generous filling, rich and savory broth, delicious taste, and oily yet not greasy texture. It is even more appetizing when served with soup or dipped in vinegar.
