Why You Should Always Have a Bag of MìLà Soup Dumplings in Your Freezer

“They’ve done a great job in all of their branding,” says Sasto, “and delivering a really high-quality soup dumpling that you can keep in your freezer and have dim sum within minutes.”

“They’re really good,” Sasto doubled down, and take just 11 to 13 minutes to make, depending on if you steam or pan-fry them. If you want crispy bottoms on your soup dumplings, you’ll want to pan-fry them; but if you prefer a nice and soft dumpling all the way around, go for the steaming method (which the brand also recommends). 

Sasto often just eats them “straight up,” or with a drizzle of chili crunch. “Depending on how much time I have, I’ll make my own: Grate some garlic, some ginger, a little black vinegar, pour over hot oil with some chilies, and kind of do the quick and easy version.”

Buy: MìLà Soup Dumplings, starting at $39.99 for one (50-piece) bag at MìLà
