For a classic winter meal, try Gourmet Dumpling House’s mini steamed buns. Also known as xiao long bao or soup dumplings, the soup is contained inside the dumpling. Pick one up with your chopsticks, dip it in a sauce of vinegar and ginger, and place it on your spoon. Then take a careful bite, slurping out the piping hot broth.
