How it's used
These dumplings are a staple of the traditional dim sum experience, characterized by their translucent skin and savory filling of peanuts, minced pork, and preserved radish. They are typically steamed and served in small portions, making them a popular choice for sharing among a group. Unlike other dumplings that focus on shrimp or meat, the distinct crunchy texture of the peanuts and the salty, aromatic punch of the radish define the authentic flavor profile.
