Din Tai Fung (1 piece)

Start with a plate of steamed leafy greens or other non-starchy vegetables, and eat these before noodles, rice, or buns.

Choose protein-forward dishes such as steamed fish, chicken, shrimp, eggs, or tofu; limit sweet sauces and ask for sauce on the side.

Share or halve the starch-heavy items such as fried rice, noodles, and buns, rather than ordering multiple starch dishes in the same meal.

For dumplings, favor steamed protein-and-vegetable fillings and keep the portion modest; pair them with vegetables instead of rice or noodles.

Skip sugary drinks and dessert; choose water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, and avoid sitting continuously right afterward.
