About Dim simms

Dim simms are small, savory parcels commonly associated with Australian takeout culture, drawing inspiration from Chinese cuisine, particularly dim sum. Typically made from a blend of minced meat—often pork or beef—combined with cabbage, carrots, and spices, these ingredients are wrapped in a won ton-style pastry before being steamed or deep-fried. While steaming is a lighter option, the more popular fried preparation adds a crispy texture but increases fat content. Dim simms are rich in flavor and provide protein from the meat and some nutrients from the vegetables inside. However, they may be high in sodium and calories depending on preparation methods and added sauces. They are often enjoyed as appetizers or snack foods, offering a satisfying bite-sized option for those seeking a fusion of Asian-inspired flavors. Moderation is key to balancing taste and health benefits when indulging in dim simms.
