City of Ate's 100 Favorite Dallas Dishes: # 99
Shanghai Buns at Jeng Chi Dumpling House
Categories: 100 Favorite Dishes

When the patio worshipers are faced with winter, more and more of them drive north to Richardson's Jeng Chi Dumpling House in search of a warming elixir, otherwise known as the Shanghai bun. These plump and juicy steamed buns are served as both a soup and a savory dumpling. Thin homemade dumpling skins encapsulate a filling of ground pork and gelatinous pork broth. When steamed, the gelatinous broth melts and becomes a piping hot soup within the skin. The best way to eat this potentially hazardous but oh-so-good treasure? Take a small bite of the skin, allowing the soup to spill out into an awaiting spoon. Then blow, eat, and slurp. Summer can't end soon enough.
