Yang’s fills its sheng jian bao with the same juicy pork filling as the ubiquitous steamed xiao long bao, but the restaurant uses thicker dough so the dumplings can stand up to super-high temperatures. When they’re finished frying, the buns crisp up on the bottom, turning a beautiful shade of golden brown. Enjoy them with chopped cream onions and sesame seeds, but bite carefully: It’s too easy to get zapped in the eye with hot broth.

The dumplings can be found on nearly every block in the city, including at Yang’s Fried Dumpling, inside the new food mall at Wujiang Lu. If you’re near shopping district Xintiandi, stop by the dumpling stand at 173 Songshan Lu, near Taicang Lu, or take it inside at chic Shanghai Tang Café, where the dumplings are served as part of the weekend all-you-can-eat dim sum brunch. The lobby lounge bar at the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai also offers shengjianbao, which go well with beer.
