What is the name of this food?
I was recently in China on vacation and every morning for breakfast we were served a steam bun with a sweet yellow filling. I loved them. I would like to try to reproduce the buns at home, but I can't remember what was in the center. I tried Google, but it wasn't must help. Please help. Also, I have found recipes online and in books, but if you have a favorite I would love to read it. Thanks in advance.

Xiao long bao is sometimes called Shanghai soup dumplings. It looks more like a dumpling than a stream bun because it's unleavened and thus thin and more translucent, even though the texture is not quite the same as either. Also, it's filled with meat unlike the Nai huang bao and has gelatin like a dumpling to make it juicy.peterrific wrote:Since I'm not really good at food names, what is the difference between Nai huang bao and Xaio Long bao (not sure if I'm correct)? By the way, nai huang bao looks really delicious.
