These popular snacks are also called “water dumplings” because they float in a wonderfully clear broth. I have enjoyed them in all parts of China but my favourites are to be found in the street stalls of Guangzhou where the cooks have the knack of making them just right every time. Fine quality, thin pastry wrappers and a good filling are essential, but a good rich, clear chicken stock is also a basic requirement. Use thin round wrappers for these dumplings if they are available. Otherwi
