steamed dumplings
Hot filled pockets
Steamed dumplings are small parcels of dough cooked over boiling water, typically filled with meat, vegetables, or seafood.
The term covers many Asian varieties—Chinese jiaozi, Japanese gyoza, Nepalese momo—though unfilled dumplings like mantou also qualify.
Steaming keeps the wrapper soft and slightly translucent: We ordered steamed dumplings and potstickers to share.
