Zhong Dumpling with Sauce
10 pcs. / bag (same fillings)
We are introducing this famous street snack from my hometown - Chengdu, Sichuan. They are boiled pork dumplings soaked in the special sauce. Back home, this restaurant created the dish and named after the creator Mr. Zhong. They are called " Zhong Dumplings " (钟水饺). The restaurant is very popular and is still operating till this date since 1893. In the collaboration with Hank's Oyster Bar DC, I am going to add shrimp to make it a bit fun and it will also fit Hank's profile.
The dumplings are smooth, and fillings are tender. The sauce is going to be based on our signature Chinese style chili oil. The sauce has a red color. The taste is garlic savory, slightly sweet and slightly spicy but more it has strong aroma from all the spices putting into the sauce.
Fun Fact: The Northern regions of China are known for dumplings and bao buns. These are their staple food. However, at my hometown, a Southern region city (cuisines are usually based on rice and soups), Zhong Dumplings are one of the hundred famous street snacks in Sichuan and they got very popular because of the sauce. Sichuan food is usually famous for its sauce goes with the food. Zhong Dumplings are one of them. Famous dumplings in the Southern region? That's Zhong Dumplings!
