I recently returned to Seattle’s Shanghai Garden, one of my favorite Chinese restaurants on the west coast (see my prior posts here and here), to find they had upped their dumpling game even further.  The lack of a soup dumpling had been one of my only complaints about this spot, but now their tasty steamed pork buns are full on soup dumplings packed with luscious pork broth.

Shanghai Garden fills their vegetable dumplings with seasonal greens and this season’s pan-fried vegetable dumplings tasted fresh, bright and savory.
