- [Authentic Recipe]
- Knead cheddar cheese powder or tomato powder into the dough to tint it slightly orange, visually appealing it as 'cheese flavor'.
- Knead minced pork with scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and aspic just like regular Xiaolongbao.
- Right before wrapping, press a mix of diced mozzarella and cheddar cheese into the center of the filling.
- Pleat and seal tightly to completely enclose the cheese. Steam for 6-
- mins; the hot aspic soup and cheese melt together completely inside, creating the ultimate 'cheese fondue-style soup'.
