"One day seeing me pleating XLB, my 8-year-old suddenly asked: “Mummy, how do you put the soup inside?” Did you have the same question in mind the first time you eat soup dumplings?
As you can imagine, it’s impossible to wrap liquid with a dough wrapper. But where does the soup come from? Here is the trick: Add aspic (gelatinised meat broth) to the filling! Once steamed, the high temperature forces it to transform into liquid."
