About Nyonya dumpling

Nyonya Dumplings are traditional Peranakan delicacies, blending Chinese and Malay culinary influences. Known for their vibrant blue hue achieved using butterfly pea flowers, these dumplings highlight the artistry of Southeast Asian cuisine. Typically made with glutinous rice, the filling features a savory mix of minced pork or chicken, dried shrimp, mushrooms, and fragrant spices like coriander and shallots. Wrapped in banana leaves, they are steamed to perfection, delivering a rich aroma and taste. While glutinous rice provides energy through carbohydrates, the dish is relatively calorie-dense and may not suit low-carb diets. The protein-rich filling offers essential nutrients, but the moderate fat and sodium content in some versions suggest mindful consumption. On the plus side, butterfly pea flowers add antioxidants, supporting overall health. Nyonya Dumplings are a flavorful treat to enjoy in moderation, celebrating the heritage and balance of Peranakan cuisine.
