Delicious vegan dumplings
Thank you @thisisbutterly and @plantropylife for the opportunity to try this vegan Jackfruit Dumplings.
Each pack comes with 14 dumplings, so I pan-fried 8 and steamed the rest.
Although the instructions say to pan-fry for 2 minutes before adding 2 tbsp of water, I added 4 extra minutes to get the brown and crispy skin I prefer.
The dumplings are very good, comparable to meat dumplings. However, I am quite disappointed that they have some 🌶️ (not listed in the ingredients other than ‘Spices’), so there’s some heat, and my kids cannot get to try them.
Overall, if you are looking for soy free, gluten free and vegan dumplings and love some heat, I would recommend getting this.

Incredibly versatile!
I had a great time experimenting with this product, making four different versions: regular, teriyaki, honey garlic, and soy sauce. I wanted to see how versatile it was, and it definitely delivered! The texture was surprisingly spot-on—chewy, satisfying, and nothing like I expected from a fully vegan option. It really holds up in different sauces, which makes it easy to customize for different tastes.
What I love most is how clean the ingredients are—zero cholesterol, no trans fats, rich in fibre, and completely free from soy, gluten, sugar, and sulphites. It’s a solid option for anyone with dietary restrictions or just looking for a wholesome plant-based choice.
That said, I did find it had a bit of a spicy kick on its own, which might not be for everyone. But once mixed into sauces, the heat balanced out beautifully. It’s quick to prepare, great for a weeknight meal.
If you're looking for a versatile, healthy, and surprisingly hearty vegan protein, this is worth a try!

Doesn’t taste like it’s meatless
For the dumplings I steamed them and I also tried air frying it too.
This doesn’t taste like it’s meatless. I gave it to my mom to try and she said it taste like chicken. There’s also a slight spice to it. I’m not particularly fond of the taste but it’s okay. Not sure if I’d buy it again though

Not what I had expected
I was very interested in trying this meat free option for dumplings but was disappointed when I went to cook them. The instructions on the package says to fry them for 2 mins then with water for 2 minutes. No temperature guidelines. I cooked them on medium high and they all stuck to the pan and they weren’t even hot inside ( and barely on the outside ) I took a bite but spat it out. It might have been good if it cooked properly with better instructions. You could taste the spice/seasonings which would have been good.

Plant based dumpling
I enjoyed munching on Plantropy Jackfruit Dumpling. It has a nice flavourful taste. The texture is also pleasant. I prefer potstickers than steamed. The filling is very satisfying, although it didn’t taste like chicken to me but I still enjoyed it. The wrapper could improve as it sticks to the steam liner. Love that it is rich in fiber, and free of sulphite.

Jackfruit Dumplings is a game changer
These jackfruit dumplings are probably one of the best plant based dumplings I've ever had. The jackfruit in the filling actually tasted meaty and definitely fooled me. If you like a bit of spice, these dumplings have just a tiny kick to it. My only quam was the dumpling wrapper was a bit mushy and was close to getting burnt so I couldn't really cook it for much longer.

Jackfruit dumplings from Plantropy
I do love dumplings, but I have to say, the texture of the jackfruit dumplings from Plantropy wasn’t really my favorite. It was a bit different than what I’m used to, so I had to add some Szechuan sauce to give it an extra flavor boost. The sauce definitely helped, but overall, I’d still prefer a traditional vegetarian dumpling over the jackfruit one. It was okay and I’d be willing to try it again, but honestly, it just didn’t win me over. If you’re a big fan of jackfruit, you might enjoy it more than I did!

Good for a craving fix if you’re vegan!
Overall a good substitute for dumplings/gyoza/mandu when you’re vegan and craving it. The shape is good but they could be a bit bigger and there could be stronger favours through the use of more spices. Use of your favourite dipping sauce definitely helps make it a more authentic experience. The mouth feel is a tad softer but if you pan fry or add other textural elements, it’ll balance out the dish.

So delicious
Jackfruit Dumplings is delicious vegan food to satisfy your cravings. Made of jackfruit, soy-free and gluten-free, these dumplings make a great snack or a meal for busy weekdays or special occasions. It is because they are easy to prepare, only a few minutes in a steamer or on a pan and tasty food is ready to enjoy. Our kids helped us to prepare it. These Jackfruit Dumplings are whole-plant based and come without sugar added. I find them a little spicy but kids find them fantastic. Though they made chicken flavoured, I think they are really good, even without this flavour addition. I like that these Plantropy dumplings are easy on the stomach and rich in fibre. Just dip them in a favorite sauce and eat!
