Wuxi dumplings
History. It is made of superior flour, carefully selected materials, steamed in a small cage and has a southern taste. It has the characteristics of not breaking the skin when picked up, not leaking the bottom when turned over, being full of brine when sucked, and being fresh and not greasy. Steamed bread has thin skin, rich stuffing, tender and fragrant taste. In autumn and winter, boiled crab yellow oil is added to the stuffing, which is the famous "crab powder cage", which is delicious when eaten. This can not only be eaten extemporaneously, but also be used as a gift for relatives and friends. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, known as "Youlong", has traveled all over the world, especially loved the beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, gardens and historical sites and folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River. He made six cruises to the south of the Yangtze River, and made a trip to the south of the Yangtze River by Qianlong. Along Nanjing, Yangzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Emperor Qianlong made his first southern tour, and arrived in Wuxi on February 19, 175 1 year, staying on the dragon boat in Yingpan (north of Shitang Bay) in the north. He decided to go to Wuxi Qinyuan (Jichang Garden) long before his tour. On the morning of the 20th, Yu Jia changed to a boat from Huangbudun to Qinyuan. I tasted the local steamed buns, and then the steamed buns were very famous and have been passed down to this day. Visit Qianlong's footprints, listen to Qianlong's anecdotes and taste the delicious food "Wuxi steamed buns" praised by Qianlong.
Because of the rich soup, steamed buns are eaten differently from other steamed buns. When the steamed stuffed bun is served, take a small dish, pour in a little rose balsamic vinegar and shredded ginger seasoning, gently pick up the steamed stuffed bun with chopsticks and move it into a shallow dish. First, take a small bite on the skin of the steamed stuffed bun as thin as a cicada's wing, and then slowly suck the scalding juice, while sipping, the sweet and delicious taste will spread in the mouth. The soup is almost sucked, and then the whole steamed stuffed bun is swallowed to taste. If you are tasting it for the first time, the locals will usually teach you the formula: "Lift it gently, move it slowly, open the window first, then suck the juice". This way of eating, on the one hand, can avoid splashing soup and scalding your lips, and on the other hand, you can enjoy its delicious taste in the process of sipping. Fresh is fresh, beautiful and solid, but it is still a little sweet and greasy. It is ok to eat a few occasionally, but you can't enjoy it if you eat too much. And some crab powder cages may be a little greasy, but they are quite delicious. You must try them when you have the chance!
