Hi,
I am a big fan of Simply Ming shows and yesterday he was sampling some
great Dim Sum in Hong Kong. One was a dumpling that had soup trapped
inside it. I assume this was an iced soup that was encased in a
dumpling. Ill try that. if anyone knows more details i would be
greatful. The whole show is a must see again. I would be willing to
purchase a copy of it.

i'm not in north america so i'm not familiar with
that cookery programme but i do recognise that very
dumpling you describe. had it in Shanghai in march
this year, at the most expensive dumpling house in
Shanghai [and the bill reflected the prestige!].
IIRC it has crab roe, shark fin...and? sh!te,
forgot what else. it's 'eaten' with a plastic
straw. i didn't eat any of the dough. have all the
photos of my recent eating adventure in Tibet and
China but i've been busy with a pile of other
food/drink photos from before and after the trip so
they've been completely ignored. i need a kick in
the arse to get the post processing started!

if you find yourself in Shanghai and would like to
visit this particular dumpling house make sure you
have around 2 hours free.....the queues are
horrendous! or do it like i did, arrive before the
feeding frenzy/lazy people. cheers.

I think the dumplings you are referring to have had a gelled substance
(broth, etc.) put into the dumpling (as opposed to iced) and when the
dumpling is heated, the gelled broth turns into soup. I have a recipe
somewhere in the house, but unfortunately it's not already on my computer.
You could try to Google "Chinese soup dumpling" and I think you would find a
few recipes for it, and of course perhaps someone here will post a recipe
for it after seeing your question.

later today i will start post processing the first
day of the trip's pix.....starting with Finnair food

but now i have to out and find something nice to
photograph as the blue sky is absolutely fabulous
today. after 6 1/2 weeks of intense pollution [in
China] something as simple as backyard bird singing
and blue skies are such wondrous things here at home.

the pix will be posted here [use Firefox]:

I don't know anything about how they are made, but if memory serves, I
remember having these in San Francisco.
