Empanadas + soup dumplings = Bolivian Salteñas? That’s been
@jaekicho’s working theory for years, as
@bolivianllamaparty has been a go-to eatery. More on that in one moment:

Back to the food: The methods for a xiao long bao and a salteña are actually similar. At BLP, they stuff the Salteñas with gelatinized broth from cow foot, allowing the pockets to stay extra saucy on the interior. That’s very similar to how a xlb uses gelatinized pork broth. So maybe Jaeki’s theory is correct… 🤔
