No. 44The one to order
Shengjian bao in the old full-fermented style: fluffy, crisp and less soupy
The 1932 shop that keeps the original Shanghai pan-fried bun alive, a bready cousin of the soup-filled kind.
Make it at home
Shengjian bao (pan-fried soup buns)
5 hr including jelly and rising, about 1 hr hands-on · 16 buns, 4 people. A yeasted soup dumpling fried in a covered pan: steamed on top, crackling on the bottom, with sesame and scallion scattered over. Shanghai's breakfast.
