Vegetarian dumpling soup
Vegetarian dumpling soup is a kind of summer flavor food that is eaten directly after filling made of vegetables and beef is put into square dumpling skins. Vegetarian dumpling soup looks like slices floating on water, so it is called 'Pianshui' or 'Bian's Dumplings'(Bian's steamed buns). Generally, the practice of dumplings is to wrap stuffing made of meat or vegetables in the dumpling skin, steam or boil it and eat it. There are also various flavors according to the seasons: the best flavor dumplings in cold winter are meat dumplings, while the best ones in summer are vegetarian dumpling soup or palace-style dumplings wrapped in the shape of sea cucumbers.
