Steamed Wonton Dumplings

Steamed Wonton Dumplings

Wonton, dumpling or pot sticker are popular appetizers in Chinese cuisine. Steamed wonton dumplings are made by stuffing a thin dough wrapper with a mixture of ground meat and vegetables, such as pork and Chinese cabbage, and then steamed until cooked through. These dumplings are low in calories and high in protein, making them a healthy and satisfying appetizer option. One serving of steamed wonton contains roughly 6 grams of protein and 41 calories. They are also a good source of vitamin A and iron, which promote healthy vision and blood circulation respectively. Steaming the dumplings instead of frying them significantly reduces their fat content, making them a healthier alternative to fried wontons or pot stickers. Typically, steamed dumplings are served with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce, and can be garnished with sliced scallions or cilantro for added flavor.
