    The Korean, pre-packaged mandu can be fried & then steamed like potstickers but they are ideally meant for Korean style preparation which is usually steaming or boiling in soups. This explains the thinner skin that has a tendency to harden when fried. When freshly handmade, the dough is rolled to the thickness desired for the style of preparation it will be used in.

    I am a dumpling addict. At any time, there are at least three brands of dumplings in my freezer. I eat them almost daily but I’m not able to identify the ingredients as accurately as these 3 chefs. Amazing how they can describe in detail what they detect in all the dumplings sampled! Bibigo is always a reliable brand to buy and I’ve been enjoying their “soup dumplings” since they first appeared at market a few years ago. And yes 365 is not a brand of dumpling you’d want to buy more than the first try. I think my own homemade dumplings can rate better than a few of the samples! But I can’t wait till I try Trader Joe’s.

      Twin Marquis is not my favorite and I was surprised they spoke so highly. To me, the meat is less flavorful and you can get more fresh meat options at the Asian market. But that might be a really long video! I wish I remembered specific brands off the top of my head but I just go by recognizing labels 😂 Besides, I wonder if they taste better because the distributor is more local and not like these brands. Or maybe because a lot of the big brands are already pre-cooked meat resulting in a less fresh taste.

    I was super skeptical of Bibigo when it came out, given that they were heavily advertised in a K-Drama, but have been very impressed with their mandu and so glad we can get them in the US! They are the only dumplings my Korean hubby wants me to buy, and we've tried about half of these.

      My guess is cause they aren’t readily available at mainstream grocery stores. But the Asian shops really do have way better dumplings. Especially Chinese brands.

      Maybe not carried by a grocer near the studio. Though a few of these looks like they may have been bought at a Pan Asian or East Asian market, where I assume you could find your brand even if the local American grocer doesn't carry them.

    In my opinion, Mila XLB are better than Trader Joe's XLB. Bibigo and Trader Joe's dumplings are made by the same company CJ Foods. So, they should be identical. But in this test, Bibigo was microwaved, while the Trader Joe's version were steamed. That's why they're rated differently.

      Equal parts mirin, lemon vinegar and soy sauce. If you eat a lot of dumplings, you'll save money buying small bottles and mixing them together and keeping them in the fridge for repeated use.
