    🥟 Your wish is our command – soup dumplings are back, and this time they’re here to stay! 🥟   In 2022, we launched a limited edition of our chicken tang’bao – they steamed up TikTok and sold out in weeks.    Giorgio and his NPD team got straight to work, testing dozens of recipes over the past year. "After months of development, our chicken soup’dumplings and vegetable steamed’dumplings have landed. We’ve created delicious dumplings with a hot soupy centre. Steam in the bag in minutes & top with your favourite sauces, herbs & more. Enjoy your tray your way!”   They're now available at: Waitrose, Morrisons & Asda and arriving into Tesco by November 4th.
