Pork Dumplings

Cooking pork dumplings in a steam oven enhances their texture and flavour. The ground pork, blended with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil, creates a rich, savoury filling that stays tender and juicy. The process of steaming ensures the delicate wrappers remain soft yet firm enough to hold the filling. This technique evenly cooks the dumplings while preserving their natural flavours. The result is a healthier, oil-free dish bursting with taste.

Soup Dumplings

Soup dumplings, or xiao long bao, are delicate Asian dumplings you can easily make in a steam oven. They are filled with seasoned pork, ginger, and a rich broth that turns gelatinous when chilled. Steaming melts the broth inside, creating a burst of flavour with every bite. The thin dough wrapper stays tender yet slightly chewy, perfectly complementing the savoury filling. The dish results in a harmonious balance of umami richness and silky texture.

Lamb Dumplings

Lamb dumplings combine ground lamb, ginger, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil for a deeply savoury, umami-packed bite. Steaming keeps the meat juicy while the wrappers turn soft and slightly chewy. This cooking method evenly distributes heat, preventing overcooking and preserving the lamb's natural richness. The result is a dumpling bursting with bold, aromatic spices and a silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture, making it a delicious choice for both casual meals and special occasions.
