Why Foodies Are Rushing to Katy Asian Town for Supreme Dumplings' Texas Debut
While Xiao Long Bao dominate Instagram feeds, Supreme Dumplings crafts a deep roster of regional dishes that reward thorough exploration. The spicy pork wontons rival the soup dumplings for top billing. Tossed in a house chili oil balanced with aromatic Sichuan peppercorns, roasted garlic, and scallions, they hit the palate with numbing heat followed by a gentle vinegar snap.
Pan-fried pork bao present a dramatic contrast in texture. The dough develops a thick, golden, pan-crisped bottom shell while maintaining an airy, cloud-like crown. Searing locks the moisture inside, ensuring every bite releases hot pork juices against the crackle of sesame seeds.
Vegetable dishes prevent palate fatigue. Cold garlicky cucumbers arrive sliced with razor precision, tossed in chili crisp, while flash-fried green beans with minced pork and preserved mustard greens deliver an earthy crunch that cuts through rich steamed proteins.
