    The Trader Joe's website has a lot of recipes to go with some of these frozen products. For example, there is a "Teriyaki Chicken Fried Rice Stuffed Pineapple" recipe using the BBQ Teriyaki Chicken. When I run out of ideas on what to cook, I like to browse the recipes to try something new.

    Love the mee krob crispy noodles (vegan) at trader Joe's. It needs fish sauce but is pretty authentic thai flavors.
    My local Costco just got a lot of new Korean foods in the refrigerated and frozen sections. They also had a similar "cinnamon stuffed pancake " which they were demoing. It was very doughy and not chewy enough. I've eaten the proper Korean version and it doesn't really compare. On the other hand the mini red bean taiyaki were very tasty.

    So happy I saw this tonight! We buy massive amounts of sliced noodles from the Asian markets because they are ADDICTIVE. Jjajangmyeon and Taiwan black vinegar/soy noodles especially. We got the TJs ones to try them... and yes, we had to add the Taiwanese black vinegar to make them perfect LOL (Kong Yen is our favourite brand). Wait... did you say... KIMBAP??? (married to a Korean, we eat it 3-4 times a week... thank G-d for the Sushi Bazooka LOL). Will be buying the Boba thanks to you - thank you! No matter what any of us do, making the tapioca bubbles, half of it just mushes up and sticks to the pan... a LOT of time and effort for so little payback. I'd like this kit, for sure. And the Karaage chicken is a must-try now! We get the Japanese fried rice and mix it with a bag of either the Thai Shrimp or the chicken for a meal. Very good and tasty - and high quality! Mix in the Teriyaki Chicken... meal COMPLETE! Anyhow... thank you for the video! You've answered a lot of questions we had!
