MOFU SHOPPE | Your Dumpling Destination on Instagram: "Snack. Dinner. Treat. Whatever you're looking for, we gotchu! Reservations on Open Table. . . . The Origin of Dumplings By 300 CE, the humble dish had undergone a transformation. Archeologists uncovered a tomb in China’s Xinjiang region from that year containing the remains of stuffed dumplings. This is the earliest physical evidence of dumplings ever discovered, but it doesn’t prove that China is the dish’s birthplace. Most food historians say filled dumplings originated in Central Asia. From there, nomadic Turkic peoples migrating west towards the Mediterranean and further East into Asia may have spread their recipes throughout the ancient world.  This theory is supported by etymology. Though the words describe distinct dishes today, the Turkic word for dumpling is manti, which is thought to be the origin for Korea’s mandu, Greece’s manti, and China’s mantou. The Polish word pierogi and the Russian pelmeni may also have roots in a Turkic language. Some experts trace the earliest written evidence for dumplings to De Re Coquinaria, a Roman cookbook compiled around the late 4th or early 5th century CE. It contains a recipe for nuggets of chopped pheasant mixed with fat, broth, and spices, poached in seasoned water. This early grain-free dumpling stretches the definition of the term to include any food mixture that’s molded into a lump and boiled.  That’s pretty broad, but even that description doesn’t encompass every item that’s been called a dumpling. If you forget the cooking method and focus on the formula of wrapper and filling, fried foods like samosas from India and empanadas (originally from Spain) would qualify as dumplings. That’s a controversially wide-ranging interpretation, but few would argue against a fried wonton’s place in the dumpling pantheon. Maybe it’s best to throw out rigid categories when it comes to dumplings, or defer to the word’s slang definition: a term of endearment for something small and adorable. 📝: www.mentalfloss.com/posts/dumpling-food-history"
