Chinatown's Soup Dumplings

An absolute must during a bitter cold winter is a trip to your local Chinatown for soup dumplings--warm pork dumplings with steaming broth inside. This is comfort food at its finest.

If you're in NYC, go to my favorite joint, Shanghai Cafe on Mott Street, where you'll pay $8.00 for eight large dumplings. Another local favorite is Joe's Shanghai on Pell Street, though there is always a long wait for a table.

Stay warm!
