Dumplings, a culinary marvel found across different cultures, have a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originating in China, they have evolved and diversified across Asia, Europe, and even the Americas. Dumplings typically consist of a thin dough wrapping encasing a variety of fillings, such as vegetables, meats, or a combination of both. These fillings can be seasoned with herbs, spices, and sauces to enhance their flavours. Dumplings are often boiled, steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried, resulting in a diverse range of textures and tastes.
