Xiwen Sidaor (Silken Dumplings)

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Sidaor (Silken Dumplings) get their name from the way many thin “threads” or strips of ingredients are wrapped in a small, thin wrapper. Also known as vegetarian spring rolls. First, a thin wrapper about two inches in diameter is made from flour. Then, diners assemble their own by placing small amounts of shredded kelp, shredded radish, bean sprouts, pickled vegetables, yuca root, fried soybeans, and more onto the wrapper. The small wrapper is then rolled into a tube shape and filled with a spicy sauce made from chili paste and soy sauce. One Sidaor is complete, and when eaten, it offers a delightful mix of crispness, coolness, sourness, and spiciness — a truly tempting flavor. (Guiyang)
