    Answer to Jamie: Yes - it is technically possible to burn water. According to a brief bit of searching, with the right set of chemicals (apparently fluorine works - rather dangerous so don't) you can cause water to oxidize, thus 'burning' it. So, yes, you can technically burn water. Just not on a stove by itself.

    As oxygen being the second most electronegative element, after fluorine, I guess that only fluorine-based oxidants work to _burn_ water. Besides fluorine (which you can find a video on the Periodic Table Videos channel, with the most notable presenter being Prof Poliakoff, who is also an Einstein lookalike), I have heard about chlorine trifluoride which, once, has "set the concrete on fire" as well.

    Funfact: the original names of these soup dumplings in Chinese 小笼包 literally translate to little cage dumplings. The proper way to eat it is to bite of the top from in the spoon (don't pick it up from the spoon) and suck the soup out before eating it whole after. Also if u want an extra kick, some sliced raw ginger on top, with soy sauce or vinegar added as a dipping sauce like they do in Din Tai Fung.

    Martin Yan did a series on Chinatown places and there was a place that showed him how to make these. They froze the meat fillings and scraped enough for each dumpling before filling the wrappers. Ofc the mixture was a secret but, if you try freezing the meat jelly mixture, you might get the consistency.

  • @canuckkat

    That's definitely one method, but the easiest way is to make the broth the day before, cool it, and then put it in the fridge overnight. Make the meat mixture the same day and also put it in the fridge for it to "marinate" overnight. The next day, with both the same temperature, combine and wrap. If you're doing it at home, just buy pre-packaged wrappers from the store.

    @@tams805 As someone who's had to attempt to scrape dumpling filling, I would not recommend it for anyone except for the most advanced of cooks. They also don't freeze the meat overnight (it's only done for a few hours to firm things up), and most people I know don't have room for a container that size in their freezer anyways, which is a pretty decent size. So unless you're making the filling 2 hours in advance and then immediately wrapping the xiao long bao, just put it in the fridge like I already recommended. Then freeze all your wrapped dumplings for later consumption.

    Chinese soup dumplings usually have 18 - 22 folds on top of the dumplings. Fun fact, the max fold count is 22 cuz too much folds will cause the wrapper of dumplings too stiff and lose the signature slippery texture. Another fun fact, many restaurants mix the broth jelly to the meat filling to make sure same amount of both filling getting wrapped.

    Recreating dishes is a CLASSIC activity when you're learning how to cook, and continues to stretch the brain as you develop. This is awesome, thanks for the video! I wonder if the guys will ever take a dish without a recipe and try to recreate it just from the final version? Reverse-engineer it, as it were? I'd love to see Mike try!!

    I've been saying "HAIYAAAAAAAAA!" since they started cooking. - You don't blitz the meats, after seasoning you mix them in a bowl with a pair of chopsticks and a touch of water to develop the protein, moving always in the same direction. If you include shrimps, chopped with a knife, not minced. - You don't completely flat out the wrappers. Press with the palm of the hand a portion sized ball of dough, and then with a little rolling pin you go around the wrapper to create the circle, moving it around with the other hand. Has to be thin on the sides but the centre a bit thicker to support the filling. _ The soup (broth) gelatine goes ON TOP of the filling, not under, not beside, not mixed on the filling... ON TOP of the filling.

    Nobody had any expectations that Barry and Jamie would produce dumplings of any quality even remotely, but tbf their performance deserved credit where it’s due, they were constantly solving problems that arose and used logic and reasoning to follow a vague recipe! Jamie’s Wreck It Ralph hands were never going to be able to produce 18 pleats to seal his dumpling, but he still stepped up to the challenge with confidence which is inspiring

    Living in LA, there are two branches of Din Tai Fung here. They are ALWAYS booked for reservations. Months in advance. Walk ins? 2 hour waiting lists. Its a 40 minute drive to get there for me, just one way, and that's not considering LA traffic. The drive there along with waiting and then the drive home would be a 4+ hour ordeal. For just the soup dumplings. Let me tell you, as someone who's had their dumplings. It is absolutely 100% worth it.

    SUPER GEEK......HE'S A SOUPER GEEK..... Pure water cannot be burnt, however, if you were to add an electric current to the water then the water would break into hydrogen and oxygen. Then if you tried to ignite that then there would be a bang/pop, a blue flame, and then it would put itself out as it recombines to a water. We use water to put fires out, not start them.

    As far as I heard, from my dad who did it, "burning water" was basically "leaving the pot on the stove so long that all the water evaporates", and I guess any residual chemicals in the water or anything would then burn? Not sure exactly, but that's what I took it as, boiling the water so long that the actual water evaporates, and whatever is left in there/was cooking in there burns.

    Watching the boys pleating their dumplings closed reminds me of happy family times with my sister and her Tibetan husband making momo (similar idea but sans the soup in the dumpling, momo are steamed over soup instead). Great fun had by all of us on the production line with my sis rolling out the dough and the whole extended family from 6 years old to 50+ having a crack at pleating up a dumpling, and my bro-in-law showing off all the fancy variations he knows.
