Pork and Chive Dumplings
Handmade Pork Dumplings made with Berkshire pork, Chinese chives, and garlic. Laoban is a modern take on a traditionally-inspired Chinese dumpling shop, located in Washington, D.C.
These pillowy dumplings are a crowd-favorite for a reason, completing our winter craving for tender, well-seasoned, savory Chinese dumplings for lunch.
