Plain Dumpling (1 Small)

Reduce the dumpling portion and eat slowly; consider splitting the serving and saving the rest for later.

Pair dumplings with protein such as eggs, tofu, chicken, fish, or plain Greek yogurt to slow digestion.

Add a generous side of non-starchy vegetables, such as bok choy, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, cucumber, or cabbage.

Choose steamed or boiled dumplings rather than fried dumplings, and avoid sweet dipping sauces.

Use a vinegar-, chili-, or soy-based dipping sauce in a modest amount instead of sugary sauces.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe for you.
