With a history of 100 years, it specializes in steamed dumplings, soup dumplings and noodles. Today the Nan Xiang Steamed Dumplings Restaurant is well-known both at home and abroad.

As a traditional local delicacy of Nanxiang Town, Nanxiang stuffed steamed bun was originally named Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun Stuffed with Meat, and later called Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun. It is well-known for the following features: thin-wrappered, plentiful stuffing, juicy, fresh, delicious, and nice shape. Originated in the reign of Emperor Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it now boasts a long history of over 100 years.

Nanxiang stuffed steamed bun was created by Mr. Huang Mingxian, who was born in Nanxiang Town of Jiading District. Initially, he opened Rihuaxuan Pastry Store, dealing in Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun. Every day, he would carry the steamed bun and peddle it in Guyi Garden. Tasting delicious, the steamed bun enjoyed great popularity. Later, Huang Mingxian changed the big buns into “small, thin-wrappered and well-stuffed ones”. Choose fine light flour, ferment it, and roll the pastry out very thin. Choose lean meat as the stuffing. Braise pork rind in chicken soup without gourmet powder, and then mix the jelly with the pork. In this way, the original taste of the soup can be preserved. Besides, put a sprinkle of ground sesame in the stuffing. In this way, the flavor of sesame is added to the stuffing. Furthermore, in different seasons, add crab meat, shrimp meat, or spring bamboo shoots. In this way, the stuffed steamed bun will be right in season. Every bun is featured by at least 14 plisses. Usually ten buns can be made out of one liang (equal to 50 grams) of flour. Semitransparent, the small and exquisite buns take on the shape of a chufa. When the stuffed steamed bun is ready, take one out of the steamer, and place it in a plate. Poke the wrapper and the juice will fill the plate, which is recognized as desirable. The stuffed steamed bun boasts several characteristics which have been fostered in the course of time, specifically, thin-wrapper, tasty juice, tender meat and plentiful stuffing.

Later, invited by Nanxiang people who traveled to downtown Shanghai, Mr. Huang Mingxian opened Nanxiang Store of Steamed Bun in Shanghai Town God’s Temple, and Guyi Garden, Store of Steamed Bun on Xizang Road, both in the name of Nanxiang Stuffed Steamed Bun. Hitherto, they still enjoy great popularity. Given that Nanxiang Stuffed Steamed Bun is delicious and well-received, people engaged in the same industry start to follow its example one after another. As a result, Nanxiang Stuffed Steamed Bun has been located in Shanghai and all over the country.
