Don’t be daunted by the task of making bao – the pillowy filled buns that you may have eaten lots of at dim sum. The shape is akin to cinching up a satchel (think of a hobo bag). You need this shape to master stuffed buns (Chinese bao, Filipino siopao, Vietnamese banh bao) and the graduate level Shanghai soup dumpling (xiao long bao, XLB). “The Perfect Shanghai Soup Dumpling” video I taped with the Chinese chef at Shanghai Dumpling King gives you a sense of rapid fire closed satchel making. You can work up to that but he started decades ago.
The video below slows thing down quite a bit to help you along. Do note that this shape only works for wrappers that you make from scratch. Do not try this technique on purchased pot sticker or wontons as they are not moist enough to seal properly. That said, review the instructions in Asian Dumplings on how to roll out dumpling wrappers and watch the video. That will bring you up to speed on where this video takes off!
A dumpling makeover tip: When making yeast-leavened bao, you can steam the dumpling with the pleats facing down to hide imperfections! No one will be the wiser.

I just love your videos Andrea! I came across the soup dumpling video several days ago and think it is so professional– you are such a natural! Honestly, you should have a show on food network! Ever think about applying for the Next Food Network Star?
I started looking at some of the other dumpling videos that came up after viewing yours— hands down, yours are the best! Concise and clear, they make me want to make dumplings!
Thank you Kirsten!
