This is a special dim sum dumpling because the wrapper is made with taro. After deep frying, the outside will puff up into a beautiful delicate crust, while the middle layer maintains the soft and creamy texture. It is like a crispy, flaky mashed potato stuffed with a savory filling - very interesting. Although this dumpling is mind-blowing, the recipe is complicated and challenging.
