Go Green: Green Bites Dumpling Bar

Steamed or boiled dumplings? Green Bites knows that steaming keeps them plump and juicy, whereas boiling shrinks and wrinkles.

The pillowy pork and vegetable dumplings (RMB 15 for ten) feature fresh cabbage, sweet corn niblets, carrot (organic veggies where possible) and meat so fresh it’s still squealing. It’s like having porky imps jiving on your taste buds.

The beef and water chestnut dumplings (RMB 19 for ten) are also filled to the brim with stuffing. You might recognize the flavor of Chinese chive, much like the steamed minced beef balls you get in dim sum.

Green Bites specializes in delivery, but if you get the chance to eat these dumplings fresh out of the steamer, they’ll taste even better. Wash these down with the comforting slow-cooked soup (RMB 6) and you have a guilt-free jiaozi feast.
