"Frozen soup dumplings may not be a traditional holiday gift, but these dumplings are special. They’re made by a company founded by Jennifer Liao and Caleb Wang, a Bellevue couple who pandemic-pivoted their restaurant Xiao Chi Jie into an elite-tier frozen meal purveyor. As Eater’s Bettina Makalintal writes, “After these soup dumplings spend 11 minutes in a steamer, it’s hard to believe they came out of a dry-ice-filled cardboard box. The frozen balls transform into shiny, pleated pockets, plump with pork and soup.” Right now you can buy a whole 100-dumpling set — sauces and steamers included — for the sale price of $139.99." - Harry Cheadle
