Coriander Dumpling with Rice Vermicelli in Broth
Verona TAM, registered dietitian (UAS) and Continuing Education Sub-Committee of Hong Kong Nutrition Association said, "Unlike traditional practice which uses fatty meat as a main ingredient, this wanton filling uses lean meat which can provide high-quality protein and axe fat intake. Using coriander as a natural seasoning not only enriches flavours of the dish but also reduce the use of salt. It is healthy low-energy dish."
