Lychee Lane Zhong Shuijiao

　　The founder of Chengdu snack Lychee Lane Zhong Shuijiao, Zhong Shaobai, originally named the shop "Xie Senmao." In 1931, the sign “Lychee Lane Zhong Shuijiao” was first hung. The main difference between Zhong Shuijiao and northern dumplings is that they are made entirely with pork filling, without adding other fresh vegetables, and are served drizzled with a special red oil—slightly sweet with a salty tang and a hint of spice, offering a unique flavor. Zhong Shuijiao are known for their thin wrappers (10 dumplings weighing only 50 grams), premium ingredients (top-quality flour and lean, deboned pork), tender filling (achieved by carefully controlling temperature and moisture during preparation, resulting in fine, melt-in-your-mouth meat), and delicious taste (thanks to complementary seasonings, red oil, and the original broth).
