Typically, they consist of a dough wrapper filled with seasoned meat such as pork, beef, or chicken. Dumplings can be boiled, steamed, fried, or baked, depending on the recipe. Nutritionally, dumplings provide a balanced mix of macronutrients, especially protein from the meat and carbohydrates from the dough. The exact nutritional profile varies by preparation and filling but generally offers around 200-300 calories per serving (5-6 small dumplings) with 10-15g of protein, 25-30g of carbohydrates, and 8-10g of fat. They also supply small amounts of vitamins like B12 and minerals such as iron and zinc due to the meat content.
