The Chinese time-honored Shenyang Laobian Dumpling House was founded in 1829. In 2000, it was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running dumpling house in the world. In 1829 (the 9th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty), Bian Fu, the founder of Laobian Dumplings, set up a shop at Ojin Bridge in Shengjing City (now Shenyang) and started a steamed dumpling business, which was named Laobian Dumplings. Because the dumplings he made had thin skins and large fillings and were made and eaten fresh, they quickly became famous in the local area. Since then, Laobian's dumpling-making skills have been continuously improved through competition and practice, and the process of making soup and stuffing has been developed, forming a unique flavor that is loose and easy to chew, delicious, fragrant but not greasy, and is well-known at home and abroad.
