My Favorite 15-Minute Dinner Hack for Under $10

Emily DaSilva
ByEmily DaSilvaNov 13, 2023In Partnership with MìLà

Let’s be real. Everyone’s busy these days and I don't have time to dedicate to cooking big meals or meal prepping. On the flip side, I'm also sick of throwing money down the drain from ordering takeout. But as if the universe heard my cries (literally), I discovered MìLà’s Frozen Soup Dumplings and my life has completely changed. Here’s how they saved me and my taste buds:

1. It’s restaurant quality food in the comfort of my kitchen - bye bye takeout, you’ve officially been replaced

This stuff is GOOD. I’ve ordered soup dumplings at restaurants before and the MìLà dumplings taste just the same. There are also so many different flavor options, including chicken, pork, and even pork and shrimp! They also launch limited edition flavors every year so there’s always something new to look forward to. Not only do these soup dumplings taste amazing but I don’t need to step outside or order expensive takeout (which we all know would come cold AND broken).

2. I get high quality, inexpensive food without having to sacrifice on taste.

In addition to how easy and delicious these dumplings are, they’re also extremely cost efficient. That’s key for me, too! A 50 piece bag is only $39.99, and I feel full after 8 soup dumplings. That’s $6.50 a meal! You have to spend $99 to get free shipping, but with all the different soup dumpling flavors, noodles, sauces (and did I mention they also have ice cream??), the food will literally last in my freezer for months.

Editor's Note: Full transparency, there's a $99 minimum for free shipping. SO - we recommend MÌLÀ'S FULL EXPERIENCE BUNDLE. It comes with 50 soup dumplings, a steamer, 3 sauces, AND 6 noodle packs. It's $139 for the whole set, so you qualify for free 2-day shipping, and you're all set up for the next time you order... which, believe us, everything is SO tasty you're going to be dreaming about them. PLUS, having extra food in your freezer - just in case! - never hurt anyone.

3. I’ve hacked cooking even if I can’t cook. 

Sorry Trader Joe’s but I have to say it - sometimes microwave food just doesn’t cut it. Especially when we’re talking about soup dumplings. MìLà is just so fresh. The soup dumplings are flash frozen, which means when I make them for dinner I’m cooking it for the first time. On the other hand, the Trader Joe’s soup dumplings are already cooked and I’m just reheating them. I don’t wanna be a soup dumpling know-it-all but it just isn’t the same experience AT ALL.

With MìLà, I’m technically cooking (even though I’m not doing anything IRL). All I do is place the dumplings into a steamer and turn on the heat. It’s the same number of steps as putting food into the microwave and hitting start, but the quality is incomparable. And I get to slurp on the soup like I’m having it at a restaurant!

4. Dinner is served in just 11 minutes - that’s literally ⅓ of the average Netflix show.  

You read that right. I place them in the steamer and literally don’t touch it until my timer goes off. And voilà! I have dinner without any of the hard work.

The best part? I can easily reach for the dumplings because they live in my freezer and never go bad. These 9x12x4 packs fit so conveniently in my freezer until I’m ready for my next soup dumpling meal - which will probably be tomorrow night, the night after that, and the night after that…

Eating a good meal has never been easier, all thanks to MìLà. Seriously, if you don’t try it out you’re doing yourself a disservice - and wasting time! Any night that I’m eating at home I turn to the MìLà soup dumplings, and I’ve never looked forward to at home dinners more.
