Dough preparation
Flour and water are kneaded, rested and rolled each morning until the wrappers are thin, silky and elastic.
Jade & Steam is a dumpling and bao kitchen. We roll, fill and fold everything by hand in small batches, and we steam it only when you order. Our story
It began at a family table. A grandmother’s dough recipe, a sharp knife and one rule: nothing is shortcut. Friends came for dinner, then came back, then brought friends of their own.
“If it isn’t fresh enough to serve at home, it doesn’t leave the kitchen.”
One recipe, two hands and a tiny stove. We folded for friends and learned what a good wrapper feels like.
A small counter, two bamboo steamers and a handwritten menu. We folded before sunrise and sold out before noon.
The same hands, a bigger team, and a freezer line so the same taste can reach your own kitchen.
Handmade Process
Flour and water are kneaded, rested and rolled each morning until the wrappers are thin, silky and elastic.
Vegetables, herbs and meats are chopped by knife, seasoned in small batches and chilled so every bite stays juicy.
Each dumpling is filled and pleated by hand. No two shapes are identical, which is how you know a person made it.
