MìLà dumplings are a new potsticker-style product from the modern Chinese food brand crafted with taste, quality and convenience in mind.

The product is making its debut exclusively at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-chop-house-dumplings) locations where consumers can pick up the [jiaozi-style dumplings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-dumpling) in two flavors including Chicken and Beef. The versatile dumplings are crafted with freshly ground meat and vegetables, which are wrapped in a dough suited for boiling, steaming and pan-frying. This will enable the dumplings to be enjoyed in a variety of different ways to help at-home chefs incorporate touches of Chinese cuisine in many kinds of dishes.

Co-Founder Jennifer Liao spoke on the new MìLà dumplings saying, "One of our driving goals is to invigorate Chinese cuisine by creating best-in-class versions of both familiar and lesser known food staples. As we expand our product line and partner with more retailers, it's a dream come true to see an increased representation of—and accessibility to—high-quality, authentic flavors made by Chinese Americans.”
