Healthy, because
The Wan Tans offer a whole cornucopia of aromas - and vital substances: the minced beef, for example, scores points with plenty of zinc and iron, while bean sprouts (actually mung bean sprouts) provide B vitamins. The Chinese cabbage also boosts the immune system with its mustard oils.

The dough for the Wan Tans is available in the asian shop, where you can buy the thin dough sheets in square or round form.
