Xiao long bao may well be the greatest Chinese soup dumplings. These bundles of joy are so good, they attract queues of hungry foodies from London to Lanzhou. We\u2019re talking about delicate wrappers packed with fragrant fillings, an umami-rich broth and a tiny crown of perfect pleats.<\/p>\n

To turn up the heat on the perfect treat for two, we\u2019ve added a little of Louisana\u2019s finest to the mix. With a broth infused with a dash of Tabasco, our spicy twist on the classic recipe is the ultimate fiery fusion. Think steaming bao filled to bursting with a juicy pork and spring onion stuffing and an explosive (literally) soup base that\u2019ll crank up the date night spice.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re planning a romantic dinner for two or simply carb-loading for one, our twist on the classic xiao long bao is a surefire way to spice up your night.<\/p>\n

Tabasco Xiao Long Bao\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prep time <\/b>30 mins<\/p>\n

Total time<\/b> 1 hour<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

400g pork mince<\/p>\n

4 spring onions<\/p>\n

1-inch root ginger<\/p>\n

3 garlic cloves<\/p>\n

3- 4 tbsp Tabasco<\/p>\n

1 sachet agar-agar<\/p>\n

250ml chicken stock<\/p>\n

20 dumpling wrappers<\/p>\n

Handful of chives<\/p>\n

Soy sauce<\/p>\n

Chinese black vinegar<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1<\/b> First, whip up your Tabasco soup base by combining chicken stock, Tabasco and agar-agar and stirring until the mixture is fully dissolved. Pop the lot into the fridge while it sets into a jelly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2 <\/b>Prepare your dimpling filling by finely chopping chives, spring onions, garlic and ginger. Add them to a mixing bowl along with pork mince and mix until well combined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3 <\/b>Now your soup base has set, break it up using a fork and mix it into your aromatic pork filling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4 <\/b>Pop a dumpling wrapper into the palm of your hand and add a spoonful of your filling. Carefully bring the edges of the wrapper to the centre by folding pleats. Twist it all together to make sure the wrapper is sealed – don\u2019t worry if it looks a little messy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5 <\/b>Steam your dumplings for 8 minutes in a steamer basket lined with greaseproof paper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 6 <\/b>Serve with an easy soy sauce and Chinese black vinegar dipping sauce.<\/p>\n
