Richmond Dumpling Trail Named Among World’s Top 12

Dumplings are a versatile food with global variations, from steamed, fried and boiled styles to dishes such as bao, pierogi and gnocchi. For an easy, hearty meal, frozen dumplings can be cooked directly in red curry broth, where they absorb flavor and release starch that thickens the soup. Buying frozen dumplings from local restaurants is another way to bring handmade flavors home, while Seattle-area reviewers highlighted several restaurant-made options. Richmond, British Columbia, offers a self-guided Dumpling Trail featuring a curated range of restaurants, and food historians trace how different cultures developed dumplings to suit local ingredients and traditions.
