I'd call it a moist doughy savory lump. Could be steamed or boiled.

Wikipedia has:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpling

Dumplings are a broad class of dishes that consist of pieces of cooked dough (made from a variety of starchy sources), often wrapped around a filling. The dough can be based on bread, wheat or other flours, or potatoes, and it may be filled with meat, fish, tofu, cheese, vegetables, or a combination. Dumplings may be prepared using a variety of cooking methods and are found in many world cuisines.

This is actually what comes to mind when I think of “dumpling.” I’m thinking more in a traditional sense? There’s a moist factor due to boiling or steaming

Fried dumpling are a thing, as are deep fried or baked.
