Shanghai is famous for their soup dumplings. They are really quite amazing, steamed and/or fried dumplings that are filled with napalm, pork too usually.
Don't get me wrong these are some of the most amazing dumplings in the world, and the idea of living life with a cheek that was melted away in a freak meat pocket accident has always been a dream of mine. It's all of the danger of eating Fugu (poisonous Japanese fish) without the... well without the poisonous Japanese fish.
These Shanghai Soup Dumplings were professionally diffused
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I am a professional and have years of experience with soup grenades. The key before making the first true bite is to pierce the skin of the dumpling thus releasing the pressurized steam inside. If you do NOT do this, the dumpling will explode and spray it's thick soup everywhere. Including your face, your eyes, a little in your nose, somehow on your left freaking ear. all over your raincoat (thank god I was wearing a raincoat) Your glasses will remain smeary, oily, and disgusting until you can properly clean them with soap several hours later.
Basically I got frosted like a Krispy Kreme.
I'm thinking about buying one of these for home use.
