About Steamed dim sum

Steamed Dim Sum is a traditional dish from Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed as part of a larger meal or during brunch-style gatherings called "yum cha." These delicate bite-sized portions are typically served in bamboo baskets and feature a variety of fillings, such as shrimp, pork, chicken, and vegetables, wrapped in thin wonton or rice flour wrappers. Steaming is a healthier cooking method as it retains nutrients and avoids added fats, making Dim Sum a lower-calorie option compared to fried alternatives. Protein from the fillings supports muscle health, while vegetables contribute fiber and micronutrients. However, some Dim Sum items may contain higher levels of sodium or refined carbs, depending on the recipe. Moderating portion sizes and pairing Dim Sum with fresh sides like steamed greens can enhance its nutritional balance, making it a delicious and varied way to savor traditional Asian flavors.
