Mandarin Duck Steamed Dumplings

Mandarin Duck Steamed Dumplings

　　Mandarin Duck Steamed Dumplings are a popular snack from Guang’an City, Sichuan Province. These dumplings are crafted with great care in terms of ingredients and varieties, and can be prepared by boiling, steaming, or pan-frying.

　　Mandarin Duck Steamed Dumplings are meticulously crafted in terms of ingredients and varieties, and come in more than 30 flavors including seafood trio and both meat and vegetarian fillings. The specially made dumpling wrappers are neither sticky nor doughy, with excellent elasticity and no visible flour specks. The filling is never stringy or clumpy—rich yet not overpowering, light yet not bland, free of fishy or gamey odors, and bursting with delicate fragrance and lingering aroma. It's like savoring a fine jasmine tea, only to have a pure and refined fragrance rise from deep within your chest, leaving a lasting aftertaste. HWA
