About Chicken dimsum

Chicken dim sum is a popular dish rooted in Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed as part of a traditional tea-time meal known as "yum cha." These bite-sized dumplings feature a delicate wrapper made from wheat flour, encasing a flavorful filling of tender minced chicken, combined with aromatic herbs, spices, and sometimes vegetables like scallions, ginger, and garlic. Steamed to perfection, they offer a lighter alternative to fried options, making them a healthier choice in terms of fat content. Low in calories and packed with protein from the chicken, dim sum can be a satisfying snack or appetizer. However, they may contain higher sodium levels if seasoned heavily or paired with soy-based dipping sauces, which is something to be mindful of. Versatile and delicious, chicken dim sum brings together rich tradition and taste in a convenient, balanced form.
