To make Delectable Xiao Long Bao, you will need the following ingredients:

For the filling:

- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup chicken broth

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

To assemble:

- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
To start, mix all the filling ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, warm water, salt, sugar, and yeast together until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After the dough has rested, roll it out into a long log and cut it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball and flatten it with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece into a thin circle.
To assemble the dumplings, place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pleating the edges together to seal the dumpling. Repeat until all the filling and dough has been used.
To cook the dumplings, bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the dumplings in the water and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they float to the surface. In a separate bowl, mix the water and cornstarch together to make a slurry. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the slurry to the pan. Add the cooked dumplings to the pan and cook until the slurry thickens into a sauce.
