There just aren’t any decent xiao lung bao places in Seattle…. sad! Somewhere in China (so I hear), they actually stick straws into the monster bao so you can carefully slurp up the juice first. My preferred dipping sauce is dark vinegar! Yum!

and as for my method,
steps 1 and 2, same as sherwin and angie,
then
3. suck up about half of it’s juices just to enjoy it’s flavor on its own
4. eat off of spoon to enjoy the combined flavor of juice and meat

that doesn’t look like ningtu in your photo, so yes, you’ll have to share where this secret garden is.

gobble and spurt. if there’s no explosion of flava flave, what’s the point?!

1. gently pick up with chopsticks. (same as yours)
2. nibble small hole near base of the bao.
3. suck up the hot yummy juice to not lose even a drop.
4. insert entire bao in mouth.
5. consume.
