About Pan fried dumpling

Pan-fried dumplings, also known as potstickers, are a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, often consumed across Asia and globally. These dumplings consist of thinly rolled wheat-based dough, typically filled with a mixture of ground meat, vegetables, and seasonings. While typically pan-fried to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, they can also be steamed or boiled. Nutritionally, one pan-fried dumpling (approximately 40g) provides around 70-100 calories, depending on the filling, with a balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. It also offers small amounts of key nutrients such as iron, folate, and vitamins B6 and B12, particularly when made with meat-filled centers.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein from meat or tofu fillings, aiding in muscle repair and maintenance.
• Contains iron, particularly from red meat fillings, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body.
• Provides folate from vegetable fillings, supporting cell division and overall growth.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), egg, soy (if soy sauce or tofu is included), shellfish (if seafood filling is used)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diets, variations can be adapted for vegetarian diets if using plant-based fillings

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets (unless using gluten-free wrappers), vegan diets (if egg or meat fillings are present)

Selection and Storage

Store cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap uncooked dumplings individually to prevent sticking and freeze for up to 3 months.

Common Questions About Pan fried dumpling Nutrition

How many calories and how much protein are in a pan-fried dumpling?

A typical pan-fried dumpling contains about 70-80 calories and 2-3 grams of protein per piece, depending on the filling and size. Pork dumplings are usually higher in fat and protein, while vegetable dumplings are lower in calories and protein but offer more fiber and vitamins.

Are pan-fried dumplings suitable for a keto or low-carb diet?

Pan-fried dumplings are usually not suitable for a keto or low-carb diet due to their wheat wrapper, which contains around 6-8 grams of carbs per dumpling. To make them keto-friendly, you could use low-carb wrappers or make dumplings without the dough and serve the filling alone.

Are there any health concerns with eating pan-fried dumplings?

While pan-fried dumplings can be a tasty treat, they may be high in sodium and saturated fat, particularly if they are meat-filled and cooked with a lot of oil. It's important to consume them in moderation, especially if you are monitoring your sodium intake or watching your calorie consumption.

What is an appropriate serving size for pan-fried dumplings?

A standard serving size for pan-fried dumplings is typically 6-8 pieces, which provides approximately 400-600 calories depending on the filling and cooking method. Pair them with a side of steamed vegetables or a light soup to create a balanced meal.

How do pan-fried dumplings compare to steamed dumplings in terms of healthiness?

Pan-fried dumplings are higher in calories and fat compared to steamed dumplings due to the added oil used in frying. Steamed dumplings are a healthier choice if you want to cut down on calories and fat, while still enjoying the same fillings and flavors.
