Frozen dumplings are a staple in our freezer. They are quick and easy to heat up for a snack or meal and Lon just loves pork dumplings. Knowing this, my mom recently introduced us to Wei-Chuan Mini Buns. They are delicious for frozen product that you can steam in 10 minutes, and ta-da you have something like a soup dumpling. So far, we’ve tried the Pork and Chinese Spinach flavor and we’ll update as we try the other ones.
I find them flavorful enough to eat on it’s own. Lon likes dumpling dipping sauces. Either way, we really like them and they look really cute, perfect for last minute guests. You can get Wei-Chuan products at most Chinese supermarkets but be warned that it’s easy to eat too many!
Here they are frozen, before steaming. We love bamboo steamers.
Here they are right before I devoured them for lunch.
Is Chinese spinach different from American spinach? I know chinese broccoli is
I eat those mini-buns and always have a bag in my freezer too! I think wei-chun is my favorite brand for dumplings and buns. I find they have more filling than other brands and they tend to be more flavorful. I’ve tried other brands before and most have been very disappointing. The best dumplings are homemade though. Maybe we should have a dumpling making day Jess. 🙂
While Chinese broccoli is a specific vegetable, I believe Chinese spinach is more of a loose term used for some leafy greens that they don’t have an English name for. I think Chinese cabbage is also used for a few different veggies.
And, absolutely, we should have a dumpling day!
I love dumplings! They look super cute in the 1st picture, almost too cute to eat.
I come from china,I like mini-buns!
I wish I could get these in England! I love dumplings but it is hard to get fish or veggie ones. Your blog makes me very hungry!
I have a few restaurant reviews on mY blog, check it out if you have a minute!

You seem to do alot of eating.
These mini-buns are a new discovery for me and my boyfriend. We just happened upon a new Asian market that sells a wide variety of these mini buns and dumplongs in the Milwaukee area. They are delicious and a nutritious snack. I enjoy them steamed and plopped right into my ramen for a twist to my daily lunch at work. MMmmmm
