They rollin’, we steam-in’... 🎶💨 Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

If you’ve never tried Steamed Pork and Rice Dumplings, you are missing out on the ultimate culinary magic trick. 🪄✨

We roll seasoned, juicy pork filling in glutinous rice before steaming. As they cook, the rice plumps up into a gorgeous, glistening "pearl" coating that looks like a work of art and tastes like pure comfort.

But a show-stopping dumpling needs an equally legendary dipping sauce. That’s where the MVP comes in:

🥢 Kikkoman® Soy Sauce – The golden standard. We use it to bring out the deep, savory richness in the pork filling, and splash a little extra on top with some fresh green onions for that perfect umami bite.
