In Yang's Fry Dumpling (Shanghai, China), according to J. Kenji López-Alt and 8 more food experts. "The SJB at Yang's, on the other hand, have a much thinner skin with almost no leavening whatsoever. Its texture is not as elastic as a XLB, though it is still pleasantly stretchy. The best part—aside from the soup inside, of course—is the crispy, crunchy, fried bottom of each dumpling."
