Etymology

The word 'dumpling' is believed to have originated from the early 17th century, possibly derived from the Low German word 'dampfn' which means 'to steam'. The term has evolved over time and has become widely adopted in English-speaking countries to describe various types of filled dough. Dumplings can trace their roots back to ancient cultures where dough was used to encase fillings for preservation and flavor. Different regions have their own versions of dumplings, each with distinct ingredients and cooking methods. From Eastern European pierogi to Asian potstickers, dumplings have become an iconic food that reflects cultural diversity and culinary creativity.
