higgins was talking about the recipe ms. tonya pointed her to when she
said they were "really dumplings in soup".

Soup-filled dumplings are called "灌湯餃" in Chinese (which literally
means "soup-filled dumpling"). There are many mentions of the dim sum on
the web but not a whole lot of info on how to make it.

The only semi-helpful info I could find was a description of it (but not
a recipe). According to the description, the ingredients for the filling
include: agar, pork, shrimps, dried scallops (a.k.a. conpoy), crab meat
(not the imitation kind, I suppose), pork with fat (fined chopped), and
shark fins. The ingredients are mixed and frozen (or are they just
refrigerated?). The agar will liquify and turn into soup when the
dumplings are steamed.
