Anybody made xioalongbao? I know it's kind of a street food but I'm a big fan and you can't really get good xiaolongbao in the US, even from Shanghainese restaurants. I've tried several times - made the wrapper, made the pork filling, made the gelatinous chicken broth/pork fat mixture that is supposed to melt into the soup. Basically along the lines of this: http://steamykitchen.com/88-xiao-long-bao-shanghai-steamed-soup-dumplings.html However I just can't make something soupy, it all disappears. Is it absorbed into the dough? It is a mystery.

I'd really appreciate any insights if anyone's gotten it to work.

And I just have to believe chongqing hot pot will be spicy, probably spicier than the sichuan variety.

These ingredients should be available from even a Safeway. The English names are not standardized so just google up the traditional Chinese characters of the ingredient and check it against that at the store.
