Xingyi Chicken Soup Dumplings

Breaking the stereotype that dumplings must be sweet, this is a century-old taste surprise hidden in Southwest Guizhou. Passed down since the late Qing Dynasty, it has long transcended being an ordinary snack. It is a warm comfort in Xingyi locals' daily meals and festive celebrations, and a regional calling card that draws travelers seeking authentic flavors.

Freshly cooked, the dumplings gleam with a pristine white sheen. Bite into one, and the savory filling of free-range chicken bursts forth, mingling with rich chicken broth and enveloped in the aroma of sesame. The glutinous rice skin is tender yet not sticky, delivering a warm, savory flavor that's never cloying. As the steam carries the fresh, savory essence down your throat, each bite delivers a delightful surprise and comforting warmth to your palate.
