And why did I post this? Because I was comparing it with Mayim's Xiao Long Bao and seriously I like this much better. The ginger vinegar which is in the photo collage on the top left most corner, is a COMPULSORY accompaniment with Xiao Long Bao.

Instructions on how to eat Xiao Long Bao with the ginger vinegar sauce
1.Pour some Chinese black vinegar to the shredded ginger.
2.Gently pick up a Xiao Long Bao with the chopsticks and make sure that you don’t break the skin. Technique: Hold the Xiao Long Bao in its middle.
3.Gently dip the Xiao Long Bao in the ginger vinegar sauce.
4.Lift it up and place it on the spoon.
5.Nibble the side of the Xiao Long Bao and suck the soup/broth inside the Xiao Long Bao. This is the best way to savor the meaty, juicy, and flavorful broth/soup inside the dumpling.
6.Add some ginger and vinegar (optional) to the dumpling and eat the rest.

For the record, I like Crystal Jade's Xiao Long Bao too. Yummy!
