About Vegetable dumplings
Vegetable dumplings are small dough-filled pockets typically steamed, boiled, or pan-fried and filled with a variety of chopped vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, spinach, and mushrooms. They are commonly found in East Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean dishes, although variations exist globally. Depending on preparation, vegetable dumplings can be a low-calorie option with a balanced macronutrient profile. Generally, they provide fiber from the vegetable fillings and small amounts of protein. The dough, often made from flour and water, contributes carbohydrates, making them an excellent quick-energy snack or meal. Homemade versions with whole-grain wrappers can offer slightly more vitamins and minerals than refined flour versions.
Health Benefits
- Rich in dietary fiber from vegetable fillings, which supports digestion and promotes a healthy gut microbiome.
- Contains antioxidants such as vitamin C from vegetables like cabbage, which help combat oxidative stress and boost immune function.
- Low in saturated fat (if steamed or boiled), supporting cardiovascular health compared to fried foods.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store uncooked dumplings in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. After cooking, refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and use within 2-3 days.
