  1. I made these for the first time and ended up with 20.

    The day before, I prepared the broth with about 400 ml of water, a pork knuckle and a chicken wing, a piece of ginger, the green part of a spring onion, and a bay leaf. I cooked it for two hours, then strained it, put it in a sealed container, and refrigerated it overnight. This turned it into jelly!

    For the dough, I mixed 150 g of flour and 70 ml of hot water, let it rest for 15 minutes, and then formed the disks.

    For the filling, I used about 200 g of minced pork, the broth gelatin cut into small pieces, 1 spring onion and 1 onion, chopped, 1 baby carrot (not necessary, but I love it), 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and black and white pepper. Mix well, place a teaspoon of filling into the pastry disk, and then seal it with this cute little shape.

    Steam for about 10 minutes over medium-high heat, with parchment paper underneath.

    Very nice. Try making the wrapper thinner each successive attempt. As you probably know, Xiao long bao are meant to be delicate
