Traditionally called xiao long bao (pronounced shau-long-bow in Mandarin), these tiny purses of hot, savory soup are a comforting balm to the soul. Made from paper-thin dough and your favorite filling, this specialty kit delivers all the tools you need to make mouthwatering dumplings at home.

This Set Equips You With:

This 8” all natural bamboo steamer includes 2 stackable layers and slatted bottoms that allow you to steam multiple dumplings simultaneously. Its tightly hand-woven lid ensures gentle steam circulation to preserve shape, flavor and texture.

Pre-cut to fit directly in your steamer, these disposable liners are designed with perforated holes to promote excellent steam circulation and prevent dumpling dough from sticking. Made from non-toxic, non-stick, double sided silicone paper.

Crafted of natural beechwood, this dough roller is perfectly balanced to easily roll out delicate dumpling dough that is smooth, uniform, and thin. Larger roller (4-inches wide); smaller roller (2.5-inches wide).

Scoop, stir, and stuff filling with this handy 7” spatula. Designed with a tapered edge for precision, you can easily fill dumplings without overstuffing or sticking.

Agar agar is a popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine that serves as a vegan alternative to gelatin. It is made from a mix of carbohydrates extracted from Red Sea Algae.

Not only will you know exactly what to do & when to do it — you’ll also be set up with a sample recipe, ingredient list, and tool care instructions for keeping everything in tip-top shape. Zero confusion. Zero overwhelm. Infinite tastes.

Can I make other dim sum recipes with this kit?

Both can be found at your local grocery store.

Why send flowers when you can send delicate dough pouches overflowing with soup?! (Hint: Don’t send the flowers.)

The taste-makers have spoken.

“Gave this to my sister in law who is obsessed with soup dumplings. She absolutely loved it.”

What a great and unique gift to give for the holidays. The packaging was gorgeous too! Just waiting for an invite to try them out!

“We’ll definitely use this a lot and try a bunch of the recipes for the dumplings.”

This set seems like it’s great quality. It’s a unique gift and so much fun. I love that it comes with instructions on how to make everything, ingredients you’ll need, and a recipe for a meat version and a vegetable version.

““The kit is well packaged and a nice gift.”

It includes all of the required items to make soup dumplings (Steamer, roller, small spatula, steamer parchment, recipe and Agar Agar (gelatin alternative). The recipe is great, breaks down steps and has visuals on how to construct the dumplings. We made our first batch of dumplings with the kit and were reasonably successful. Excited to try again now that we have some experience under our belt.

“I’m going to be getting more for the holiday season!”

This little set is so cuuute!! The packing is quaint and the materials and of good quality. I made these with my roommate tonight and I have to say I'm very proud of myself for how they turned out!! The price isn't bad either so I'm going to be getting more.

“We were both really impressed by the stylish packaging and the quality of the materials. It feels very classy.”

Got this as a gift for my bff's birthday. All reports indicate that the vegetarian recipe included in the kit yielded delicious dumplings! I just wish I'd been there to sample them. Next time.

AMAZING! This was a great stay at home date night for my boyfriend and I, it does take some time to prepare the stock jelly for the filling and the dough. Also for the filling mixture, I tried out the vegetable filling, I added double the amount of seasonings. Everything was delicious, my younger siblings and parents thought it was amazing too. Definitely well spent money and will be making them again and again.

Hi: I gave this kit to my 28 year old son for Christmas. He loves to cook and he absolutely adores soup dumplings. He and his girlfriend made them last night and sent me a great Snapchat of the finished product. I wish I could share it with you but I did not save it. The dumplings looked exactly like what you would order in a restaurant. It was definitely a surprise gift and one that was most appreciative.

A perfect introduction to dumplings

Recently, while googling cooking kits, I came across the Cooking Gift Set Co. site and when I saw the soup dumpling kit – I thought it was brilliant. (There other sets are equally brilliant and rumor has it a French tart kit is in the works – be still my heart.)

This brilliant kit has everything needed to create soup dumplings at home. Included is a small bamboo steamer basket, a two-sided dumpling dough rolling pin, parchment rounds, agar-agar powder (will transform most any soup into a dumpling filling), a bamboo filling spatula, and an instructional booklet to get you started.

With a few additional tools (many that we already have in our kitchens and some fresh ingredients), you can be making delicious homemade dumplings easily! I consider myself a good cook with a well-stocked kitchen and I am thrilled with the contents of this kit and the easy to follow instructions! I love the smaller steamer basket and the roller is perfect for all kinds of smaller dough jobs. In a matter of minutes, you can be on your way to making perfect soup dumplings. I made soup dumplings from leftover wonton soup broth and they were incredible.
