About Dimsum

Dim sum is a traditional Chinese dish composed of small, bite-sized portions often served in bamboo steamers. Originating from Cantonese cuisine, it encompasses a variety of items, including dumplings, buns, rolls, and other savory or sweet morsels. Common ingredients include ground meats, seafood, vegetables, and seasonings wrapped in thin dough or rice flour skins. Some dishes incorporate fried or steamed methods of preparation. Dim sum can be a source of protein and vitamins, especially in recipes with lean meats, seafood, and nutritious vegetables. However, some varieties are high in sodium, fats, or refined carbohydrates, particularly fried options or ones with sweet fillings. While dim sum is flavorful, eating in moderation and choosing steamed versions with balanced ingredients can make it a healthier choice. Dim sum is typically enjoyed as a communal meal paired with tea, reflecting its cultural importance as a social dining experience.
