The one to order

Xiao long bao and the pan-fried pork buns

The line to expect: A short wait at weekend lunch.

Ashfield is Sydney's Little Shanghai, and this is where locals go for soup dumplings.

Xiao long bao (soup dumplings)

6 hr (mostly chilling the jelly), about 1 hr 15 min hands-on · About 32 dumplings, 4 people. The soup inside is a jellied stock folded into the filling cold; it melts in the steamer. Make the jelly the day before and the rest is a long, happy afternoon of pleating.
