Today I am going to talk about a typical Chinese breakfast soup dumplings. Also known as XiaoLongBao which originated in Shanghai and become popular in the south of China. They are small delicate dumplings filled with a variety of ingredients like pork, shrimp, crab, or vegetables.

So the most taste experience is a first sip of the texture of soup mixed with all ingredient after biting down the dough wrapper that often served with flavorful dip in sauce and uh, they make for tasty and satisfying start to the day. So if you are in the mode for some Chinese breakfast, gour give soup dumplings a try.
Hello, my name is Coco and I'm from India. It is no wonder that Indians like to eat a hot breakfast rather than cold cereal or fruit. Aloo Paratha is unanimously one of the most loved breakfast in an Indian household. It's a popular North Indian recipe packed with flavor and taste as Aloo means potato and Paratha means bread.
[00:03:00] So it's a flat breaded dish stuffed with potato filling along with lots of spices like turmeric, ginger, green chilies, chili powder, and salt. Which is cooked in a flat pan by using clarified butter instead of baking it in the oven. This crispy Aloo Paratha is usually served with Indian chutney, curd, or pickles. So everyone out there who really loves riches spicy breakfast. Must try spicy and yummy. Aloo Paratha .
Hello everyone. My name is Fatima and I'm from Iran, and I'd love to share some insights about the typical breakfast culture in my country. In general, we have various types of traditional bread that people commonly buy, fresh and warm from the local bakeries every morning
We have several types of breakfast, but the most common one consists of bread, white cheese, and walnuts. Which are relished with sugary black tea. Some people also eat sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with it, and someone else prefers using a combination of butter and cheese.
[00:04:00] This is all a matter of personal preference, and each variant has its own unique and delightful taste.
Hello everyone. My name is Leon, and today I'm gonna tell you about breakfast in Russia. As usual, we have breakfast at 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM before going to work or school or university. There are a few must common types of breakfast. The three of them, I would say are sandwiches, boiled or fried eggs and porridge made from different grains and milk.
The most common type for me personally is sandwiches with bread, sausage, cheese, and slices of cucumber sprinkled with salt and ground pepper. Also, I always have a cup of tea for breakfast, but lots of people whom I know prefer coffee rather than tea.
[00:05:00] I commonly drink black tea in the morning, although sometimes I have a cup of green tea.
And that brings us to the end of our flavorful journey through breakfast traditions around the world. Wasn't that an incredible culinary adventure?
