Xiao Long Bao (小籠包/小笼包) Mini Pork Bun

Xiao Long Bao (小籠包/小笼包) Mini Pork Bun


 


Xiao long bao (小籠包/小笼包) (pinyin with tones: xiǎo lóng bāo) is just like rou bao (肉包, pork bun) but smaller. It is also cooked in a bamboo steamer just as zheng jiao (蒸餃, steamed dumpling) and tang bao (湯包, soup dumpling) do. Xiao long bao is a popular breakfast, afternoon snack, and late night supper. You can find it in traditional breakfast shops or at food trucks on the street.

 

Xiao Long Bao (小籠包) VS. Xiao Long Tang Bao (小籠湯包) / Tang Bao (湯包)

Some people may regard xiao long bao as tang bao (湯包, soup dumpling), or called xiao long tang bao (小籠湯包), but tang bao has transparent and thin skin and is filled with broth. On the other hand, xiao long bao has soft and chewy dough skin, which is similar to rou bao.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
