Breaking Boundaries in Dumpling Innovation

For centuries, xiao long bao has been synonymous with a steaming, savory broth encased in a delicate dumpling wrapper. Traditionally, that broth is made using pork or chicken stock, making it nearly impossible for vegetarians to enjoy an authentic soup dumpling experience. Until now.
Our customers always ask us, “Do you have vegetarian options for soup dumplings?” For years, we have been thinking about this very question. They knew that creating a plant-based soup dumpling that lived up to tradition would be no small feat—but they were determined to make it happen.
WE set out on a mission: to craft a vegetarian soup dumpling that captures the same depth, richness, and warmth as the classic version. After countless hours of experimentation, we’ve done just that. By utilizing a meticulous slow-cooking process and layering umami-packed ingredients, we’ve created a broth that delivers bold flavor without a single drop of meat.
The Art of Reinvention: A New Kind of Soup Dumpling
What makes this dumpling revolutionary isn’t just that it’s vegetarian—it’s the way we’ve redefined what a soup dumpling can be. Our approach is rooted in honoring tradition while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Instead of relying on animal-based stocks, we use hand-selected mushrooms, roasted vegetables, and natural plant-based umami boosters to create a deeply flavorful broth. Every ingredient is chosen for its ability to enhance richness, ensuring that each bite of our vegetarian soup dumpling is just as satisfying as its traditional counterpart.
Vegetarian Soup Dumplings for Everyone

By crafting a plant-based version of this beloved dish, we’re inviting vegetarians, vegans, and food enthusiasts alike to experience the joy of soup dumplings in a brand-new way.
No longer is this classic dish reserved for meat-eaters—our version opens the door for more people to enjoy the comforting, heartwarming flavors of xiao long bao.
Whether you’re a long-time dumpling devotee or someone looking for an exciting new addition to your plant-based lifestyle, our vegetarian soup dumpling is a must-try. It’s a dish that speaks to the future of food—one where innovation and inclusivity come together in a single, perfect bite.
