If you’re trying to eat more plant-based—or just want an easy way to add delicious vegan meals into your routine—this might be the tastiest shortcut you haven’t tried yet. As someone who loves eating well but has a "minimal effort, maximum flavor" policy at home, I'm always on the hunt for the next big shortcut. So when I heard the hype around MìLà's Vegan Soup Dumplings, I knew I had to see what the fuss was about.
Spoiler alert: They’re every bit as amazing as people say—and honestly, even better. Here’s why they’re the perfect item to add to your plant-based grocery list:
1. They Taste Ridiculously Good
Listen, I’m no stranger to vegan "substitutes" that leave you missing the real thing. But MìLà's Vegan Soup Dumplings are on a whole different level. They’re packed with an insanely flavorful umami broth made from sweet potato noodles, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu — wrapped up in a tender, delicate dough that steams up like a dream.
Every bite is juicy, savory, and SO satisfying that you’ll swear there's meat in there somewhere (there isn't — it's 100% plant-based magic). Even my hardcore carnivore boyfriend gave them a chef's kiss.
2. They’re Shockingly Easy to Make (Steamed Perfection in 10 Minutes!)
True story: I’ve burnt "easy" frozen foods before because I hate following complicated cooking instructions. MìLà gets it. You literally just pop these dumplings on parchment paper in a steamer (or a makeshift DIY version if you’re lazy like me), and ten minutes later — boom. Restaurant-level dumplings at home with zero stress.
No crazy prep, no 47-step directions, and no weird ingredients you have to "activate" like you're performing a science experiment. Just pure, steamy, delicious comfort food.
3. They’re Made With Super High-Quality Vegan Ingredients
When I eat plant-based, I want to feel good about what’s going into my body, not like I’m just eating a bunch of processed junk. MìLà delivers on that promise. Their Vegan Soup Dumplings are crafted with thoughtfully sourced ingredients — like jackfruit and patent pending vegan gelatin.
It’s wholesome eating that doesn’t feel like a chore. Honestly, it’s like treating yourself and taking care of yourself at the same time.
4. They Bring Authenticity Straight to Your Kitchen
If you're craving that real-deal, cozy, soup-dumpling-shop-in-Shanghai experience — MìLà nails it. Founders Jen and Caleb Chen grew up on authentic Chinese cuisine, and they've worked with expert chefs to perfect these dumplings.
The flavors are layered, rich, and balanced in that way you only get when someone really knows what they're doing. It's a level of authenticity that's rare to find in frozen food — and trust me, your taste buds will notice.
Bottom Line: Stock Up Before They Sell Out (Again!)
MìLà’s Vegan Soup Dumplings are officially my favorite way to sneak more plant-based meals into my week—without sacrificing comfort or flavor. Whether you're fully vegan or just testing the waters, these belong in your freezer.
Pro tip: They do sell out fast (because once you try them, you're hooked—trust me). Grab a box—or three—while you still can.
