I often hear people talk about dumplings like a cheat meal with the perspective that it isn’t a healthy meal, especially because it’s pan fried. Or it has ‘carbs’. I speak with a fair amount of confidence: carbs are essential in any diet and I don’t know any serious fitness enthusiast who doesn’t agree with that statement. The term healthy eating has been skewed too much by media these days. Most the dumplings we make are 1:1:1 protein, carb and fat. Most regular dishes sit between 4-500 calories. I’m confident if you asked any quality trainer or nutritionist about the macros of these morsels, they will tell you, it isn’t that bad! Truth be told, if you over eat anything, it isn’t good for you. Our dumplings are made with premium meats, hand made dough (brown, spinach and white) and yes they are pan fried (fried at the bottom and steamed at the top). Frying chicken breast requires oil too! No one has smashed these morsels back like my boys and I, and we are walking proof that it isn’t just a treat, it’s quality food!
