Pork, egg and bread for breakfast. What 's wrong with that?
肉包 (ròu bāo) - Pork baozi and 蛋饺 (dàn jiǎo) - Pork dumplings with egg wrapper.
The danjiao are similar to jiaozi, but the wrapper is a tiny omelette (ya boo hiss to those show-offs with their one egg omelettes. These 5 dumplings used two eggs between them and there was some leftover! Half egg omelettes!)
They are made in a ladle held over the gas burner. It is filled with egg and briefly heated so that the egg in contact with the metal begins to set, then the rest of the egg is poured off to be used for the next one. When the wrapper is almost fully set, the filling is added and the wrapper folded. Flip the thing over to finish. The whole cook takes seconds.
Popular as a dim sum 点心 (diǎn xin) item round here. Or served in soup.
