Noodles & Company Potstickers
These potstickers run high in histamine, mainly from the chili sauce and soy sauce inside.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
These are pan-fried dumplings with chicken, cabbage, bok choy, mushroom, and carrot in a wheat wrapper, seasoned with chili and soy sauce.
-
Chili sauce and soy sauce — both are high, with the soy sauce high because it is fermented, and together they set the overall level.
-
The wrapper and mushroom — the enriched bleached flour wrapper and the mushroom each land moderate, so they add to the picture but are not the main issue.
Because the high seasonings are cooked into the filling, there is no easy way to order these lower.
