What the creator captured
Mark Wiens explored the San Gabriel Valley with Mike Chen to find the most vibrant and juicy soup dumplings. He was particularly mesmerized by the massive, fist-sized dumplings that required a straw to drink the rich crab and pork broth. Mark found the experience of poking the straw into the jiggling dumpling to be one of the most satisfying food moments he has ever filmed.
