WEBVTT - TNC Review: Store Bought Dumplings 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.080 Do you love nothing more than a trip to yum Cha, 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.320 all those different flavors, the dipping sauces, as many dumplings 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:09.799 as you can eat, delivered right to your table. I 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.920 love yon Cha. There is a wide and growing range 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:16.320 of Asian cuisines available at the supermarket, which means it 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.759 is very easy to recreate your own yum jar at home. 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.239 But are all dumplings created equally? Today we take a 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.560 closer look at a few of the options you can 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.479 pick up in the supermarket for your weekly shop hip. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.840 I'm Leanne Maude and I'm Sissie Burrow, and as two 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.400 of us rays leading dietsians who specialize in evidence faced nutrition, 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.640 we bring you the nutrition Couch product with you a 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.400 weekly chat on new products and old favorites that you 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.320 can find in the supermarkets. So, Susie, are you a 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:46.120 dumpling fan? 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.840 I am? I am particularly I've got a bit older 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.600 because my husband lived in China when he was much younger, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.520 so he's really introduced me to a lot more Asian 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.800 cuisine than I probably ever traditionally had. So I certainly 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.360 have a few of my sort of supermarket favorites, and 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.040 he's slowly introducing the twins to more of that cuisine. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.560 One of my little boys has got a pro analogy. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.680 So I've always been a little bit nervous about going 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.240 to young child places just because of the rampant use 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.320 of fish sauce. But I'm getting better with them as 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.680 I get older, and I think it is good for 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.600 them to be exposed to different cuisines. But let's be honestly, 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.880 and I am not the person in this podcast who 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.080 should be talking about real dumplings, because I believe that 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:27.039 your very skilled mum is an expert dumpling maker. Is 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.959 that that's right? 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.600 She is, Yeah, And just hear us reviewing dumplings on 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.200 the podcast, she'd probably be like, Lee, make your own, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.840 tell them to make your own. It's so much so Mum, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.240 we know that you know fresh is best, but we 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.000 will review a few dumplings today. But Mum is very skilled. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.320 She's you know, she's Malaysian. She's very skilled in her cooking. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.360 You will never find a better spring roll or curR 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.640 pup out there in my personal opinion. And she also 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.040 makes delicious dumplings as well. So if Mum was to 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.160 homemad dumpling, she'd get the little dumpling or wanton wrappers 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.480 that you can find with the supermarkets. Then she'd probably 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.400 use something like a little bit of pork mints to 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.720 use a little bit of oyster sauce. Maybe she'd do 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.200 some grated carrot, she chop up some mushrooms. She'd use 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.240 a base of onion, ginger, garlic, and her secret sauce 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.320 in something like a nice dumpling or a nice little 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.520 wanton would be something like water chestnuts, just because you 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.920 get that beautiful crunch and texture so you bite into 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.280 the dumpling. Oh, it's just delicious. My mouth was watering 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.800 thinking about it. So some homemade dumplings. Absolutely, And I 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.200 put a photo up of I was like Moms the 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.440 other day and she could to sit her and she 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.600 did this like spice rice and the rice cook. It 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.760 was beautiful and people were going crazy for it. So 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.080 I think they love to hear of Sophie's homemade sort 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.760 of recipes. So I might see if I can get 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.480 a recipe off her for some dumplings and we can 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.680 put it up on the Nutrition Couch page. Yeah. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.240 Absolutely, So have you eaten dumplings like your whole life? 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.040 Yeah? Always, always, But it's funny because everyone thinks that 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.240 we have this beautiful because Mom used to host a 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.120 big Chinese New Year party every year when we were 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.880 growing up, and she still does, but maybe not on 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.360 a yearly basis every few years these days, and people 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.400 would say, oh my god, your Mum's spring rolls, the 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.359 curry pups of fried rice, the noodles, everything is delicious. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.800 You is so lucky you get this every day. And 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.240 it's so funny because that would just be on special occasions, 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.160 like she'll bring out the spring rolls and the curry poff. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.960 She hand makes them hand rolls and then puts them 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.040 in the freezer so we have guests over, then she'll 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.639 serve them as spring roll and a curry puff. So 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.799 people used to think we ate that every day growing up, 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.120 but it was more of that like occasional treat. Like 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.880 it was very you know, we'd have a roast on 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.920 a Sunday and she'd make spaghetti ballonets, so a lot 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.639 of sort of Western style food because that's what my 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.040 dad prefers. So we didn't have it all of the time, 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.400 but we've definitely had it from a very young age 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.920 and very lucky. When if it was a social occasional 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.519 someone's birthday or something. Mom would always do a beautiful 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:29.880 Chinese cuisine for us. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.560 That sounds amazing. So I've got more questions now, So 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.720 you said pork, Was she do different ones? Was she 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:35.880 do still praul All? 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.160 Yeah, sometimes she'll do a prawn one. Yeah, definitely, but 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.600 I think just due to the cost of that, you know, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.240 prawn mince is a lot higher. One of her famous 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.600 other dishes is a nice prawn toast. So she'll use 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.360 a straine green prawns. She'll mass them up, dip the 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.280 you know a little bit of stale bread and something 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:50.880 like some egg, and then do that and cover it 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.760 in sesame seeds and then she'll put that either you know, 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.600 she'll just sort of shallow fried in the pan. Delicious. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.440 And what oil does She always extra version olive oil. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.000 She knows better. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.080 So even even back then she was using that, she 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.240 was way ahead of her time. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.880 She's quite good that perhaps maybe not to do if 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.640 she was cooking for a huge dinner party and there 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.000 was a lot of people, that would be a lot 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.000 of oil to fry, and so yeah, she was doing 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.200 She will normally bake things like curra puffs and spring roll. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.360 She'll bake them in the oven, but then the wrapper 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.400 from the spring roll tends to come undone a little bit, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.520 and the filling can sometimes burst through in the heat 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:22.760 of the oven, so she gets She used to get 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.680 a bit embarrassed about that if she was catering, so 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.560 she'd definitely do that, like she'd sort of fry it. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.680 So she would probably just used her I don't know, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.039 growing up, probably like a standard canola oil or something. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.600 I think if she was about frying for a lot 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.560 of people. But these days, I think when she's just 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.480 cooking for the family, she knows to use, you know, 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.120 the good quality stuff, and she'll always bake if you 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.840 can over you know, something like frying. And if she's 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.920 doing dumplings, you know how you can just crispen the 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.520 bottom in a non sick pan. Then you can pour 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.000 a little bit of water in, put the little on, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.400 and you can steam the rest of them, so you 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.400 get that nice crispy bottom and the top of it's 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.839 like a steam dumpling how they normally serve you at Yamja. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.599 That's how you can do it at home in a 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:56.720 lot sort of healthier way. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.320 You know, she's really missed her calling. I think you 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.840 need an insta for her cooking. It could be an influencer. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.800 She should be making some coin from all these tips. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.159 It sounds amazing. You reminded me. Actually, I grew up 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.560 out Western Sydney in chester Hill, which has had a 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.360 really high Vietnamese population back in the eighties, and when 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.040 we would have school fates, the Vietnamese families would come 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.760 and make like homemade spring rolls and sell them, and 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.359 they were amazing at the time. So you've reminded me 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.880 of that. But I think you've got to get your 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.919 mum on instaff. Yeah, she's just going to make some 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.839 coin from all their little cooking tips and trips. 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:28.960 I used to tell them, Mom, you've got to go 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.640 on Master Chef. Yes, she could go on. No, she 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.560 gets too it would be so bad. I get too nervous. Yeah, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.600 and she doesn't do well under pressure, So if someone 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.360 put a time liment on her, I think she she'd 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:39.760 get a little bit too nervous with them. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.320 You come from some good dumpling stock. Then we've chosen 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.000 the right topic for you today. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.440 Absolutely, So let's go with the first one. Susie. It's 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.400 the Hong Kong dim Sum, pork, and child dumpling. So 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.640 they sound delicious. It's a three hundred grand packet, and 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.960 a serving size is one hundred gram so a third 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.880 of the packets, it was not just one dumpling, it's 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.080 a third of the placket is basically considered a serving size. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.000 So what we're going to do today because of the 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.640 three dumplings that we've chosen one serving sizes one hundred grams, 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.560 one's twenty six grams, and one's twenty grams. So so 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.680 that we're comparing like to like, or what I say, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.160 apples to apples, or dumplings to dumplings, so that we're 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.360 comparing the same thing. We're going to compare via the 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.359 one hundred gram column today just so that we're getting 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.240 a more accurate representation of which one is sort of 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.680 the better option when it comes to dumplings. So per 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.360 one hundred grams, we've got eight hundred and thirty four 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.640 kilo jewels in terms of energy, so just over sort 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.320 of two hundred calories, we've got ten point two grams 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.600 of protein, seven grams of fat with two point four 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.240 of that being saturated fat, twenty one point nine grams 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.560 of carbohydrate, so sort of just over the one rough 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.680 serve of carbohydrate a slice and a bit of bread. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.320 We'd say three point three grams of sugar, so quite 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.560 low as you would expect in a dumpling, and three 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.479 hundred and thirty milligrams of sodium, so not hugely enormous, 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.160 but there is a little bit of a little bit 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.400 of sodium in there. And when we look at the ingredients, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.880 the first ingredient is wheat flour, so that's obviously because 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.880 of the dumpling sort of wrapper. The next ingredient is pork, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.760 and that's twenty one percent, and this brand has been 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.760 very careful to say that it's austrain based pork. Next 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.880 we have onion escallions or spring onions I think what 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.040 a lot of people call them chives. There's a little 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.120 bit of sugar in there, some sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.680 modify a tapiocre starch, corn flour, some flavor enhances A 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.400 six to two one, so we know that is our MSG, 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.920 and glengale powder I'm actually not sure what that is, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.240 and some pepper. So a very what you call quote 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.440 unquote clean ingredient list. If you take out the must though, 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.960 so we don't love the addition of the added monosudium 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.800 glueten made. But overall the ingredients aren't too bad. And 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.200 I think, you know, very standard for some dumplings, some 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.280 wheat flour to make up the wrappers, and then the 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.200 pork and the vegetables and some of the flavor profile 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.960 which is assessment or the sugar, the garlic, the soy sauce. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.440 So I don't think too bad overall for a third 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.560 of the packet around two hundred calories. I don't think 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.600 that's I think energy density why, it's fairly okay. But 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.360 I do think the problem is that people tend to 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.040 eat dumplings as more of an entree versus sort of 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.320 a main meal. If you were to eat just dumplings 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.720 as your main meal, I could probably eat close to 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.960 the entire packet. I really do think we have to 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.040 add some vegetables to that to sort of round that 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.360 out and make it a little bit more of a 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.000 balanced meal. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.880 True, I think, I tell you I don't like these products, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.560 and this was just random. I went through and chose 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.360 these today, and again I just sort of looked for 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.120 brands that were familiar to me when I look at 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.840 the supermarket, but the things that I look at actually 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.480 when i'm selecting a dumpling because I don't have Sophie 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.480 to make my own, I don't like the pork, Like 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.600 twenty one percent is quite low. When you look at 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.520 some of the comparisons, you can get a lot higher. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.960 So if I'm paying for a product like this, I 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.040 want the more protein in the more pork. So even 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.240 though it's relatively low fad and it doesn't have that 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.760 much in it, I think it's pretty low when it 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.600 comes to the pork content, and I don't like the 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.319 msgry in it. I think most many of the options 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.240 around and there is a really good pork dumpling at 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.160 Audi I didn't have time to put. I should have 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.000 put that on actually, but it doesn't have any of 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.440 the flavor and hearts are on it. So I personally 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.800 wouldn't buy this just because I think the pork's too 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.520 low and I don't like the MSG in it, and 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.760 it is sort of a very common brand that you 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.920 do see in the mainstream supermarket, so I think there 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.040 are better ones out there. No, I'm like you, it's 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.240 not the Ende of the world, but it wouldn't be 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.160 a one that I would suggest or recommend just based 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.120 on those two facts. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.280 Definitely, Yeah, But I've looked at what that. 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.280 Stuff is, the langele powder. It's similar to ginger. It's 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.720 in the same family as ginger and turmeric, and it's 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.000 just a flavor, but it's from that family, which You're right. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.680 I've never heard of that before either. This it's basically 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.400 a spice that they're using to give a little bit 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.800 of flavor through. These dumplings taste great. I've eaten them before. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.520 They're really nice. It's just that if we're looking specifically 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.160 at quality, I think you can do better. And as 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.880 I said, I'm not a big fan of MSG in 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:44.160 processed food. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.760 And then the next one we've got, Susie is Diana 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.400 Chang's dumplings. So qurectly if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.920 sure she was on Master Chef, so I'm pretty excited 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.680 to review her dumplings today. I mustn't better. I haven't 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.160 tried them. Have you tasted hers before? 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.040 No, But she's got heaps of different ones, like it's 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.760 in the section of dumplings, and they're a little bit 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.040 more expensive because you only get two hundred and thirty 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.360 grams for seven fifty, and the other packets you get 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.960 three hundred, so they're sort of positioned as more of 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.000 that boutique brand. But she's got sesh one and she's 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.960 got pork and prawn and chicken. There's a whole range 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.040 of them. They're all colorful boxes and we do like 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.440 to support Australian entrepreneurs around it, and I just chose 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.800 like for like, So I picked the sess one pork 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.319 in this category. But I haven't eaten these ones. And 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:27.800 I'll tell you in a second if you read out 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.360 the nutritionals, All right. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.040 Well let's go so again. We're going to compare per 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.199 one hundred grams, so we're serving size as per the 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.280 packet is twenty six grams. We're going to give you 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.720 the nutritional analysis on one hundred grams just so that 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.040 we can compare similarly across the three dumpling. So we've 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.960 got one thousand and seventy kilodules. When it comes to energy, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.400 we've got eight point three grams of protein, sixteen point 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.280 five grams of fat. That's quite high fat with six 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.000 grams of saturated fat. That's quite a lot of saturated fat. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.320 As well. We've got eighteen grams of carbohydrates, which to me, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.120 you know, seems fairly normally in something like a dumpling, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.200 one point four grams of sugar again fairy standard, and 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.440 three hundred and seventy eight milligrams of sodium, so not insignificant, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.240 but nothing that I'd be overly concerned about either. So 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.640 that's a nutritional analysis. When we look at the ingredient list, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.600 we've got pork thirty nine percent, so that's a lot 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.600 higher than the previous product, which is twenty one percent. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.760 I must say that this is the Diana Chang's Seschuan 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.160 pork dumplings as well, so pork thirty nine percent. The 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.440 next ingredient SUSI, which is interesting, is pastry, so that's 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.160 thirty one percent, and the pastry is made up of wheatflour, water, 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.440 vital wheat, gluten, and salt. And then she's got cabbage, onion, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.280 and soy sauce, cheese, sorry not cheese, chimes, ginger and 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:45.319 some coffee, chives, ginger, canola oil, tapiocre starch, sugar, sweet 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.600 peprika powder, chili oil, black vinegar, chili powder, garlic, and 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.959 chesh one pepper so a lot of it sounds like 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.440 a lot of ingredients, but they're all whole food based ingredients, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.959 just basically herbs and spices, and to make up that 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.600 flavor profile. The two big ingredients in there are the 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.640 pork thirty nine percent and the pastry for thirty one percent. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.120 So I'm not loving the pastry in here, Susie. And 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.760 that's why the fat content and the saturated fat content 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.120 is so high in these in these dumplings, isn't it. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.640 Because most sort of steam dumplings are very reasonably low 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.560 in fat. So when I had a look at this, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.360 I was like, why is it so high in fat 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.319 for these range? And when it said pastry but the 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.680 other thing I wanted to ask you about, but there's 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.199 no normally pastry. A true pastry will be made with butter. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.920 Butter that's why I'm so high. But I'm not seeing that. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.200 So is it just based on that? I can't even 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.400 see where the fat at that percentage is coming from 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.040 unless it's just all canola oil. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.959 I think it's a mistake. I think because canola is 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.120 quite low down there with the list. There's no way 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.960 that there's sixteen point five grams of fat with canola 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.200 being about the tenth ingredients, So I think that that 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:45.920 is an error. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.760 I think that they need to have butter on there. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.240 I've never seen pastry made without butter. Yeah, I think 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.720 there's absolutely butter in there, which would also explain the 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.959 high saturated content. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.720 That's what I thought too, So I agree. I think 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.319 there's a mistake on this label because thirty one percent 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.280 pastry is high. It is the amount of pork than 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.720 in the first dumplings, which is a good thing, you know, 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.720 if we look at the but I guess the protein 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.079 doesn't really translate there as much as you perhaps would 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.880 like it too. I guess eight point three per hundred, 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.600 it's only two per dumpling, so we'll perserve. We're assuming 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.240 that's a few dumplings. So yeah, I am a little 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.840 bit confused by the labels on this. Again, I wouldn't 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.440 recommend this because it's high fat and dumpling steam dumplings 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.560 should never really be high fat. They're quite a light 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.319 food in general to enjoy, particularly if you can get 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.000 ones that have got more veggies in them, more lean 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.560 protein like prawns or pork. So yeah, I just found 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.200 it an interesting product more than anything. One, why are 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.160 they using pastry? Two? Is that then have butter which 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.920 it doesn't list, And yeah, so I just thought it 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:40.760 was kind of interesting. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.360 Overall, my brain automatically went, oh, allergy, just be wary 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.319 if you do have children with something like a cow's 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.480 milk protein and tolerance. If there is some butter which 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.120 hasn't been disclosed in there, the company should really do 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.840 something about that. And if there's no butter in there, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.319 then I would just get them to recheck their nutrition 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.000 panel analysis because it just doesn't It doesn't really add up, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.280 does it really? No, there's something not quite right there. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.120 No, No, it doesn't add up for me at all. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.640 It's odd to have high fat, kind of raw dumplings 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.280 like that. It's odd for me to use pastry in them. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.080 And then if it is pastry, where's the butter? So 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.199 I am a bit suss on that panel as well. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.000 So I think, yeah, just if anyone listening from that company, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.600 it's worth having a look at it. And I've just 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.080 sort of flagged that as unusual as a mix as 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.040 an ingredient in general. So again, it wouldn't be my 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.400 go to dumplings if I was buying some and I 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.480 haven't previously bought them, probably because when I did have 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.720 a quick look at the label, which I would have done, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.440 I wouldn't have liked that it's so high in fat 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.320 for a product that should not be all right. 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.800 So sadly Diana Chang's doesn't get the big thumbs up 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.560 from the nutrition cout today. But let's check out mister 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.560 Chang's a barbecue pork dumpling. So one of the best 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.520 flavors I think when it comes to dumplings is barbecue 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.040 pork flavor. So mister Chang's barbecue pork dumplings are seven 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.240 dollars fifty for three hundred grams, and serving size for 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.760 this packet is twenty gram so very small. But again 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.200 we're going to compare via the one hundred gram So 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.960 we've got seven hundred and twenty six kilodels, so under 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.240 two hundred calories for a serve, nine point two grams 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.800 of protein five grams of total fat, so quite significantly 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.960 lower than the Diana Chang's brand, which had what was 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.720 that Suzi sixteen point five so only is five grams 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.000 of fat for one hundred grams here one point four 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.760 grams of saturated fats are a lot lower, twenty one 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.040 point six grams of carbohydrate fairly standard, one point five 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.640 grams of sugar, and two hundred and ninety two milligrams 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.720 of sodium. So when we look at the ingredient panel here, 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.880 the filling is sixty percent. So that's interesting just how 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.160 they've laid that out. They've got the filling of sixty percent. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.600 The pork in that sixty percent is pork forty six percent, 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:46.280 which includes cabbage, onion, chassius sauce, color one point fifty 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.240 a modified corn starch, acidity regulators, more color, soy sauce, sugar, 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.760 chicken powder, salt, sesame or tapioca starch, pepper. And then 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.000 they've got pastry which is forty percent, so that's wheat, flour, water, vegetable, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.480 all salt, and tapioga stup. So the filling is sixty percent, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.840 the pastry is forty percent, and the filling it's mostly 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.760 just pork, cabbage, and onion with a little bit of 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.880 chastis sauce and some extra flavors. Isn't it too much 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:12.280 going on? 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.080 I really like these. I've actually got these in my 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.240 freezer at home because they taste really nice. And again 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.320 I probably did look at the label. I love how 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.440 it's laid out to say, sixty percent is the filling, 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.280 forty you know, almost fifty is the pork, which I love, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.640 much higher than the ones we've seen in both cases. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.920 So the Diana there was twenty percent for the first forty, 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.240 and so this is almost fifty percent pork, which is great. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.760 There's no added MSG in it, and they're referring to 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.200 it as pastry, but obviously that's just how they're referring 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.960 to the wrapper the wrapper. And it's not a high 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.680 fat because it's it's you know, almost a low fat 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.080 product of just five grams per hundred, which isn't overly 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.560 high for the volume of sort of wrapping you get. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.600 So I really like this. I think they're quite low 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.280 in sodium for a product that is traditionally quite salty, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.600 admittedly leanne We will add loads of soy sauce, so 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.800 it's not a low salt meal. The sugars are the 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.240 low of the three of those skewes that we've compared, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.360 So that's one point five per hundred was similar to sorry, 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.359
