CNN honors Vietnam's rustic cake as one of the world's best

Dumplings are a universal food: simple yet complex, globally adaptable yet locally distinctive, and a delicious, cheap snack. Here are some popular dishes from different parts of the world, as listed by CNN.

Xiaolongbao (Xiaolongbao)

Xiaolongbao looks different from other Chinese dumplings, because the skin is gathered and sandwiched on top instead of folded in half. Additionally, the dumplings are filled with a delicious broth.

Mantle

A popular dish in Central Asia or northwestern China and very closely related to East Asian dumpling variants. These dumplings can be filled with lamb, beef, quail, chicken or no filling at all.

Siomay

Steamed fish dumplings served with vegetables and peanut sauce, think of siomay as the Indonesian street food equivalent of siu mai.

Mandu (Korean dumplings)

This Korean dish is more closely related to the mandu found in Central Asian cuisine than to Chinese or Japanese dumplings. Mandu are often folded into a circle, a technique rarely seen in Chinese cuisine.

Pierogi

Originating in Central and Eastern Europe, pierogi are often considered a Polish dish. These dumplings can be stuffed with potatoes, minced meat, cheese, fruit or sauerkraut. They are often boiled and then sautéed in butter with onions.

Pelmeni

Russian dumplings originate from Siberia, possibly introduced into Russian cuisine by the Mongols. Pelmeni can be stuffed with anything from meat to mushrooms to cheese…

Coxinha

A popular street food in Brazil: chicken dumplings, made from fried dough with shredded chicken in the middle

Empanada

If you've ever been to Argentina (or neighboring Latin American countries), you've almost certainly had an empanada: a pastry stuffed with meat, fish or other fillings, then baked or fried.

Tapioca dumplings

A Vietnamese shrimp and pork dumpling wrapped in a tapioca flour wrapper. When cooked, the tapioca flour becomes translucent, giving the dumpling an attractive appearance and a chewy, elastic wrapper. There are two main variations of banh bot loc: wrapped in banana leaves and steamed or boiled.

The list includes dishes such as Ravioli, Italy; spicy Sichuan wontons; shrimp wontons and dim sum dishes from China; Brik, Türkiye; Bryndzové halušky, Slovakia…
