Shaomai
Shaomai is one of Wuxi’s traditional famous snacks. It was first created in 1757. This snack is made with diced pork leg, pork lard, shepherd’s purse or tender leaves of green vegetables, mixed with seasonings to form a filling of minced vegetables and pork fat with lard (an alternative filling can be made by mixing meat broth with glutinous rice). The dough is prepared by kneading refined wheat flour with water to make wrappers that are thin at the edges and thick at the base. The filling is then wrapped inside, steamed, and served. This snack is known for its delicious taste and non-sticky texture.
