For those who are genuinely curious. The soup is gelatinized into a semi solid form, then wrapped with a dumlling wrapper and steamed. As it steams, the gelatine soup melts. Now if you'll excuse me, I must run and hide from the Soup Dumpling Assassins for divulging this ancient secret...
@@kudzu_ It basically is as the gelatinous soup is mixed with a filling like pork, chicken, and crab. There are only a few varieties of soup dumpling that is just soup.
You're basically the one influencer that I can consistently watch as you're super consistent with your story, wholesome, and honest with your opinion. I celebrate you Xing! 🥳
Mikey, I love your video's sooooooooooo much. You are my favorite TH-camr and food vlogger. When your restaurant opens I will come over and try your delicious food!!! Keep up the good work!
Suddenly everything is taking off for Mike business wise, restaurant, hot oil, hot pot kit... 😶. Makes me wonder if he was actually stuck in a disadvantageous contract before. So many people in that situation, I'd be sad if I learned that even Mike has been like that until now too.
A lot of these things hes been working on or atleast had interest in doing for years. The hot oil for example, i remember him talking about it from videos 3 or so years back.
I didn’t understand the tasting. I love Mikey but a legit tasting would be everyone tastes and votes on a sheet and then they compare notes...not like this
ahaha that cracks me up considering the fact that Mikey is a huge foodie and not selective about his choices at all. However, based on his ratings the hotpot place still needs improving and additional flavor to their food and is not his number one place. On my part, if you want really good hotpot, homemade style can be a really great option!
Watch every new video, for many years! I wish we had good hot pot here! I crave the stuff and you always make the food sound sooo good.. Thanks for the videos man! Greetings from SUNNY SOUTH AFRICA!
Mikey ... because of you I am a dumpling fein ...lol...I never had them before my whole life and now I am eating them almost everyday...I'm am so hooked...talk about flavor....i an making them home made and just unbelievably the best thing I've ever tasted!! Thank you for introducing me to dumplings 😃❤️🙏
It’s so surreal seeing you walk around and drive around places that I’m at every day. Literally filmed like 4 blocks from my home!! 🥺 I hope I can see you one day
I hope the hot oil will be available internationally at some point! I got the dumpling slippers and plushie and I adore both the slippers are SO COMFORTABLE
I'm Chinese and grew up sharing food from the middle but now we use a "gong fai" of "gong guan". Main chopsticks and main spoon so we dont double dip our spoon into a shared pot after eating. We are literally ear each others saliva
FYI, the lamb noodle soup you used to recommend at that golden shopping mall that you were at for the smoked chicken is no longer the same. The broth is no longer as white or as rich. I think it's changed owners or staff. Doesn't taste good at all
I'm so curious is the restaurant where you did the hot oil taste test your friend's restaurant but everyone just gathers there to taste each other's food that they're going to sell at their own shop? The people you ate soup dumplings with seem like such cool friendly polite people!
14:04 “Crispy bottom, that‘s what they used to call me in highschool“ DUDE WHAT? edit: while some of u here, can anyone explain to me why he moved into the woods? I haven’t been updated lately
I've been binge watching your videos for a couple of months now and honestly- all this time I've been assuming you're saying "nummy" instead of "numbing" in regards to your hot oil appreciation :D :D it could be both
I’m so excited to watch you eating amazing delicious food and I’m over here with a low budget simple meal. Living my covid food dreams through you Mikey 💔
That guy was so excited to see you walking down the street , just a heads up i may be super excited to meet you too ; you are a food god !!!! Thanks for sharing another great video 😇
Its from Hmart - if you watch his Hmart food taste test he shows you the exact pot with the name, series number, and brand. I don't know if you can find it online, though.
I always just put the entire soup dumpling in my mouth at one time and enjoy the flavor spreading throughout. My (Chinese) gf has taken pics as proof of me doing that lol

Lol thank you. I always thought it was just liquids from the stuffing cooking.

I think the Soup Dumpling Assassins got him and is now a Headless Chicken... 😁
You're safe... have known this for years, but freaking cute as hell!!
It really is!!!
@@HeadlessChickenTO You're alive! They can't touch you!!
Can't wait till your hot oil is complete! Thank you for taking the time to make sure it's exactly how you want it 🥰
Same I need them hot oil
Is there a pre order or a pre waitlist? Lol i want 5 bottles i know it will be bomb
"You need to pay bills and you have responsibilities but you get to eat cheesecake for breakfast."
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
“Chokes from spice” that’s my favorite so far.
You're basically the one influencer that I can consistently watch as you're super consistent with your story, wholesome, and honest with your opinion. I celebrate you Xing! 🥳
Thank you for showing us the whole process! It is so interesting! Definitely can't way too try the hot oil once it's on the market 🤤
Those last dumplings Mike ate with friends were the most beautiful I have ever seen.Yummy 😋♥️
I watch you every day. I love this channel
thank you!!
Good luck on your new restaurant can't wait to buy your hot sauce here in Fort Worth, Texas. Have a blessed day with your friends!😎👍
When tasting you should write your opinions anonymously so one doesn’t change their mind when you say your view on video @3:52
That is exactly what I thought
I guess Mike has the final say to the sauce and soup base.
"I'm going to grab some dumplings before going to eat dumplings." That's a real insight into Mike's soul right there.
Normal youtubers: Please by my merch
Mikey: Come eat hotpot at my restaurant
Mikey, I love your video's sooooooooooo much. You are my favorite TH-camr and food vlogger. When your restaurant opens I will come over and try your delicious food!!! Keep up the good work!

Doesn't matter, though, because he's on it & fulfilling his desires (their) & dreams... that's all that matters.
Blessings & many more blessings guys!

Mike explaining the hotpot flavors:
1. Not bad
2. Not bad
3. Not bad
😒
They were probably bad, when you say not bad to a friend
Yeah doesn’t sound like a winner. I think he said “not bad” for the camera but off-camera he’s going to say no way
Yes men:
Mikey: number 6 is the best.
Yes men: YES! number 6 is definitely the best. Number 6 it is!
I didn’t understand the tasting. I love Mikey but a legit tasting would be everyone tastes and votes on a sheet and then they compare notes...not like this

New Mikey video, BOOM that makes my whole day better💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🍜🍝🍜🍲🍲🍜🍝🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🍛🍛🍛🍛🍛
I always expect to see those creepy singing ghost children standing in your driveway when you arrive home at night.
Same 😂
I can't wait until the hot pot line comes out, it'll likely be my first experience with hotpot. Unless a food miracle happens before then.
Watch every new video, for many years! I wish we had good hot pot here! I crave the stuff and you always make the food sound sooo good.. Thanks for the videos man! Greetings from SUNNY SOUTH AFRICA!
Love your content....I'm hooked on your positive attitude and knowledge

“Not bad” doesn’t sound like a winner 😂😂
I love your videos Mikey, in this time I don't go out, so its nice to live vicariously through your videos.
That guy was so excited to see you!
Grace Droptiny more like obnoxious
locogreen915 pretty sure he was just excited
Ikr i wonder if he's seen himself in this video yet
been following you religiously for quite some time now and tbh I enjoyed the videos where you (mike) stuffed your face with Chinese food.
youve just inspired me to eat cheesecake for breakfast. BECAUSE I CAN.
It’s so surreal seeing you walk around and drive around places that I’m at every day. Literally filmed like 4 blocks from my home!! 🥺 I hope I can see you one day
I am really happy for you. I can tell youre really excited... calm down... especially before you decide on stuff important to you.
Fr....the worse thing to happen is having long-term consequences occur that results from decisions made due to them being emotionally influenced.
I don't know why or how but.. Your videos make me happy! 😊
Thank you for your work.
Wishing Mikey good luck opening restaurant in middle of pandemic
I hope the hot oil will be available internationally at some point! I got the dumpling slippers and plushie and I adore both the slippers are SO COMFORTABLE
Mike has entertained me for months. Definitely going to the restaurant once covid is over
Good morning mikey!! I hope you are good! Lots of love from India. P. S I LOVE YOUR JOKES
"Cheese Rainbow Soup Dumplings"
*This is either going to be amazing, or terrible.*
I'm Chinese and grew up sharing food from the middle but now we use a "gong fai" of "gong guan". Main chopsticks and main spoon so we dont double dip our spoon into a shared pot after eating. We are literally ear each others saliva
it's always fun to watch mikey's vlogs

Surely they're just wasting so much money if they let their friends eat there all the time, especially with all that gold leaf...
I love to see Mike eat. I am addicted to Simply Dumpling
12:01 "nibble of the pork" that cute little smile she does 😏😂
Love your videos Mikey keep going!!!
The perks of eating with Mike! You get to try some new food!
I legit thought Mike was gonna put hot oil on the cheese cake.
14:04 “Crispy bottom, that‘s what they used to call me in highschool“ DUDE WHAT?
edit: while some of u here, can anyone explain to me why he moved into the woods? I haven’t been updated lately
Helin‘s Suga 🤣
At least he didn't say crusty lmao
Sounds like Josh from Mythical Kitchen!
me and the other gays like 👀👀👀👀
Actually it's Rhett's infamous line.
I've been binge watching your videos for a couple of months now and honestly- all this time I've been assuming you're saying "nummy" instead of "numbing" in regards to your hot oil appreciation :D :D it could be both
Love that everybody knows Mikey when he walks around Chinatown like a boss
I’m so excited to watch you eating amazing delicious food and I’m over here with a low budget simple meal. Living my covid food dreams through you Mikey 💔
I love binge watching your vids so much fun
I should sleep, have to get up in 5h, but I just saw your video coming in. Couldn't resist to click😅
Hate it when he uploads at 3 a.m and i had to watch
Hi i am Cartman so true guys
We’ve all been there. Good luck tomorrow. Make sure to stay hydrated, it’ll help keep you alert when you need to get up. Take care.
Hahaaha same
Yay!!!!!!! So happy there will be vegetarian options too! Thank-you for thinking of us!
This channel makes me happy :)
And I get to learn about different foods just from watching your channel
:D LOVE YA MIKE ❤️
I JUST ORDERED MY OILS!!!!❤❤❤❤❤WE CANT WAIT😘
This hot oil has been in the process for 5 years. I guess i can wait another 5. 😭😂
It's always been my dream to open up a restaurant, glad to see you're living it Mikey
Your videos make me sane during these times.
That cheesecake looked yummy. Have fun and success always.
So much fun watching them at 12:00
Chilli oil on everything! The end👌
Your vlogs just make me happy 😊
I need that hotpot pan! even for my cereal .Love it!! I also need sparkly cheesecake ! Beautiful
Not an easy time to start up a restaurant! I wish you all the best.
Will your hot oil be available in 🇨🇦 ?
I love how hyper that dude was to see you and you edited him out 😆
Love your growth! Can't wait to try those restaurants
Can you please make another story time video, It’s so fun hearing your stories
I wanna try those cheese and shrimp dumplings 😮 sounds interesting
Love your content Mikey. My girlfriend and I watch all your videos together. Keep up the great work!
Guy with the yellow dumpling is soo beautiful
“We consider that a park” 😂😂 thanks for the hunger and the laugh!
Such yummy foods on a special day, Happy harvest moon festival!
Mike is the champion the one and only champion🤩🤩🤩
That cheesecake looks EPIC!!!!
Everytime I watch these videos, I crave dumplings 😫
Hello Mikey!!!! Amazing video!!! 😆
Hey I have family last name webster is you my cousin
This vegetarian who has watched your videos since off the great wall appreciates you Mikey!
That guy was so excited to see you walking down the street , just a heads up i may be super excited to meet you too ; you are a food god !!!! Thanks for sharing another great video 😇
I wonder why Mike got the nickname “crispy bottom” in high school 🧐. I guess it’s going to be another story for when Mike cooks from home.
Mikey you should try adding Paneer for one of your Hot Pot, it soaks up flavours really well.
So beyond excited for your hot oil and hot pot flavors!!! Woo hoo!
The guy who recognized you on the street was so funny haha that would be my exact reaction
I would love to know where you got your pan that you use for Korean bbq.
Me toooo!!!!! If you find out will you let me know too???
Me too!
The big round red electric skillet
I think H Mart (mentioned in a previous video a bit back)
Its from Hmart - if you watch his Hmart food taste test he shows you the exact pot with the name, series number, and brand. I don't know if you can find it online, though.
Mikey’s response to everything: “It’s not bad.” What does that mean?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
I've learned now its not the words he says, its the tone that actually decides how good it is
that is lacking of something to be reaaaally good. So IMO he's not saying is bad, but it could be much better, it needs something to be 100%
Your videos ALWAYS make me hungry!! 😆. Did you move back to NY, or just traveling??
I’ve never done the vinegar thing when eating soup dumplings. I’ve gotta try it! Looks so good 🤤
I’ve never tried any of this.
It all looks delicious! 😋
Can't wait to get into your food products. REALLY hope you can ship to Canada!
these rainbow dumplings look similar to pretty patties from Spongebob squarepants 🥟🌈
Great video Mikey! I hope I can order that hot oil eventually....
I can't wait to buy your hot oil! I can't find star anise or the Szechuan peppercorns where I live!
Love your vids. Keep it up.
I eat duck for breakfast!! Man I am always up for duck :D especially if its noodles for breakfast count me in!
That video with Richman better come soon Mike. You can’t just tease us like that xD
(Love ur videos!)
I always just put the entire soup dumpling in my mouth at one time and enjoy the flavor spreading throughout. My (Chinese) gf has taken pics as proof of me doing that lol
Hi Mike, love your videos. Where’s Dumpling the puppy please? X
I can't WAIT til your sauce and oil becomes available Mikey!!! 🤤
I need to hear more of this hotpot broth and hot oil lol . When it's for sale I want to try it all .
Love hot pot and soup dumplings!
Would love to show Mike around Chicago's food scene haha. He seems like so much fun to eat with
Option1 “not bad”
Option2 “not bad”
Option3 “not bad”
Option4 “not bad”
Tasting complete
Garlic hot sauce sound yummy. 😍 I can't wait till all of this is available.
