Me and the family are having real issues cooking dumplings and not having the fillings just taste way to hard and not nice, do you have any plans on what not to do and what to do when making your own dumplings
My husband and I put these in our finished instant ramen after microwaving them. Helps make a lazy dinner more satisfying, plus if the dumpling starts to leak, it goes right into the soup broth.
That would’ve been difficult to do the microwave steam method. You’re meant to only cut off a small corner of the plastic bag which isn’t enough space to take out a dumpling. Otherwise, I agree because I’m curious what the veggie ones would’ve been like not in the soup.
Could she have used saran wrap to rewrap the container? Also as I am not familiar with this item. Is the plastic "safe". I keep seeing where plastic heated leeches chemicals out into food.
@@stephanieokke7280 that’s a good question! I don’t know if the plastic tray or the plastic bag leeches harmful chemicals into the food. It’s possible. The only thing I can say is that they don’t degrade in any visible way during the cooking process. And the Saran Wrap is a great idea! Never thought of that.
I find your videos very informative, but mostly comforting and soothing. You have a very calming aura about you and it helps me to watch videos like yours when I'm feeling anxious.
Emmy you have to try the soup dumplings from Costco and steam them. They are SO GOOD!! I’m terrified they’ll stop carrying them so I have several bags in the deep freeze.
The Mila dumplings or the Bibigo? Both of them are great imo, but I've heard nothing but good things about Mila (and I heard they just expanded distribution across the US!)
It could have been a nice experiment to cook two of each flavour with each of the three methods so you can compare them. It's hard to know whether the vegetable ones do a good job of containing soup or have their own flavour when they were cooked in the soup.
That chili-crisp oil is one of the best inventions! Just a mild warmth which doesn’t overwhelm the food, and the garlic and sesame oil add so much flavor! One jar only lasts me about 3 bowls of noodles!
Hehe! I watched you take a bite of the first dumpling and as you tried to pick it up, the skin broke and the soup fell into the bowl. The second time, you said, “let’s try it with he soup this time,” and once again, the soup from the dumpling fell into the bowl before you got it to your mouth. I was sitting here giggling!
SO glad to finally see someone using the S&B Crunchy Garlic! I feel it's so often overlooked for a variety of reasons, but it is ADDICTING even without the spice. Thank you for showing it some love!
I love soup dumplings, I've had them at restaurants twice this year, once for my birthday. I usually put it on my spoon, then break it open with my chopsticks to let the soup out.
I just bought the pork and chicken flavors for my daughter to try! She has been wanting to try "dumplings" and this seemed like an easy way to do so for us. Thank you for showing all three preparations. Honestly the soup one might be good for someone unsure or new to eating them at first (like my kid). Whatever the case, your videos are always so fun. I can show my kid this before preparing the dumplings now!
Saw another content creator do this and tried it myself and it was pretty good. Use the microwave method but also add some cheese on top each dumpling and drizzle some sriracha ❤Makes a nice snack.
The pork gyoza at Trader Joe's are fantastic, I hope you try it some day. Kind of by accident I ended up crisping them on 2 sides once then just went with it & browned all 3, I hadn't seasoned my cast iron well enough after cleaning it so I was trying to slowly get them unstuck without tearing the skin & by the time I got them all unstuck that slightly brownedk8⁸l⁸⁸😊 had become 2 toasty browned sides on most of them so I just decided to add a pat of butter & a drizzle of sesame oil to the pan & just make crispy pot stickers. Now that's the only way my kiddo & I eat them, it's so easy I don't even bother adding water to the pan just warm a little oil just enough to coat the pan & once all of the gyoza are down the lid goes on for a few min softening the skin just enough to easily brown on the other two sides, once that first side is brown I flip to another side & keep the lid off so they only brown, repeat until all 3 sides are nice & crunchy to your liking. The pork is always firm & just full of flavor.
I really like TJs pork and ginger dumplings. I've discovered that the electric lunchbox which emmymade did videos on a while ago does a great job steaming a small number of dumplings with very little mess.
Well to be fair you didn’t try the veggie ones the right way so don’t know how they’d be done with either recommended method - the mushiness was not the fault of the dumpling itself
Soup dumplings in soup....you might have to wait until the pressure equalizes to avoid getting the 'Bends" (cf any diving bell movie) hehehehe I love dumplings and we don't have any this far south in mexico....except the ones I make myself of course.... hugs from down here in the dumpling desert Jacques
My first time trying soup dumplings was thanks to a friend, who took me to a place in New York City famous for them. They may have served other things. But everyone in the restaurant seemed to only be having the soup dumplings. We had three types: Pork, crab, and crab and pork. They were all delicious. But pork was my favorite.
17:17 Any dumplings of any kind are pure pockets of heaven. Even the Polish and Italian ones. The legend has it, if you eat dumplings, your children will be born with dimples and every time you say the word dumpling, those dimples shall light up 😊 And soup dumplings are just next level, just ask them little dumplings munchkins.
Thing is, when I see the word dumplings, I think if the suet kind we would have as either a baked side, or something put on top of a hearty stew to sort of boil, steam and bake all in one go, proper thick stodgy things that are just there for filler to make the belly full... :P
I love TJ’s soup dumplings. I think I have tried all 3 of the flavors. I picked TJ’s frozen fried rice and served them together with 2 packages for an easy weeknight dinner for two.
I always put my soup dumplings in a soup even before the tiktok craze cause It just add more food into a meal like vegetables, noodles or more meat like chicken.
Hey Emmy, long time viewer. Cool shirt! I’m visiting Ithaca for the next 2 weeks. Curious if there is a restaurant you tried and would recommend! Always trust your insight
I agree with you, I liked the pork ones the best. But overall I was kind of underwhelmed with the flavor and texture maybe if I had put some chili crisp oil on it it would be better. Also when you microwave those chicken ones I’m surprised that you could not hear me yelling at the screen😂 Trying to warn you that they were going to be as hot as lava
I have been obsessed with Trader Joe’s as of late, they have such good quick meals and they’re tasty they don’t taste prepackaged like most. I even tried the famous chocolate croissants and OMG I thought they were gonna be Uber sweet but no they were beautiful and perfect.
My Goto: Pork & Ginger Soup Dumplings + Bulgogi Beef Fried Rice with Kimchee. I put both in my Cuckoo rice cooker on easy cook for 18 mins with 1/3 cup of water. Dump dumplings and fried rice into bowl and douse with soy sauce. It's delish togeth! Sometimes i add peas and broccoli 😋
I love bibigo pork soup dumplings. The chicken dumplings are good but to me, the pork are the best. If I ever have an opportunity to try these from trader joes I absolutely will. Also, I have IBS and they're one of the few foods that do not give me any problems. All American frozen foods do with very few exceptions.
I am definitely going to try soup method. The microwave is very inconsistent, and they tend to break. I like the pork dumplings the best. Thanks for the review.
Very nice, I just tried some from Aldi, they were pretty good to me. However, it was the first tine ever having soup dumpling. Now, I need to go get more. LoL
I’m visiting my daughter at college tomorrow. Living in a dorm she does have a small freezer and microwave is her only form of heating. I’m already picking her up a TJ boba tea kit and might have to pick up a pack of these as well
I love soup dumplings. Dumplings in general. I recently tried a kimchi and pork dumpling (it wasn't a soup dumpling) from my friend's grandmother. WOW! It blew my socks off. I've never TJ soup dumplings though.
Dumplings are so perfection. What's your favorite?🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟
Bibigo is my go to. I like to make a dumpling soup similar to how you do in this video. So yummy!
Fried 🍳
Me and the family are having real issues cooking dumplings and not having the fillings just taste way to hard and not nice, do you have any plans on what not to do and what to do when making your own dumplings
The kids like the pork best. What is the name of the chili crisp please?
I love the pork dumplings the best!
The plastic in the box makes a great form for fancy ice cubes.
I've used them to make chocolate shells to hold mousse and other stuff. Like the ice idea, too!!!
How resourceful 😌
My husband and I put these in our finished instant ramen after microwaving them. Helps make a lazy dinner more satisfying, plus if the dumpling starts to leak, it goes right into the soup broth.
Smart move
Early in the video, but feeling like I wish you had cooked 2 from each package, each way. This way, the cooking method and flavor would be fair.
Could have taken quite a long time, though.
That would’ve been difficult to do the microwave steam method. You’re meant to only cut off a small corner of the plastic bag which isn’t enough space to take out a dumpling. Otherwise, I agree because I’m curious what the veggie ones would’ve been like not in the soup.

You should do it and report back! :D

What brand are they? I’ll check them out next I go 😊
😁
@thoughtsofaleo2916 I have never seen Bibigo that were soup dumplings. Just regular dumplings
@@thoughtsofaleo2916can confirm. My local Wegmans s carries them and the hubby is addicted.
The most calming person ever. Zen voice and personality. 🧘🏾
It could have been a nice experiment to cook two of each flavour with each of the three methods so you can compare them. It's hard to know whether the vegetable ones do a good job of containing soup or have their own flavour when they were cooked in the soup.
Came here to say same. Even if just did 1 in each method would have been a more balanced comparison and review.
You try it then lol
Well when u start ur channel u can do that ! 🦦
A couple of years ago I found those exact same soup dumplings at Costco. Six of those trays in a big box for $11. Yeah, I bought a bunch of 'em.
Off topic but the shirt is awesome. I lived in Ithaca for 10 years and it's definitely GORGES!!
My Japanese girlfriend *LOVES* Trader Joe's dumplings and gyoza.
Your show is like a warm hug.
i love the idea of using the strainer as a steamer! 🤯
That chili-crisp oil is one of the best inventions! Just a mild warmth which doesn’t overwhelm the food, and the garlic and sesame oil add so much flavor! One jar only lasts me about 3 bowls of noodles!
SAME chili oil is literally a necessity like hot sauce now
I am recovering from a very serious ulcer situation... All the hot sauces and chili garlic oil
Can't wait!
I think its so damn awesome that youre still making videos 🥲 been watching you for 10 years 💖
Ahhhhh!! Ithaca!!!! The next time you’re in Ithaca, come to sweet Melissas! Let me know beforehand and I’ll make you whatever flavor you want!!!! ❤❤❤
I cook my frozen dumplings in my electric egg cooker. Just need parchment under them so they don’t stick but it works perfectly.
I steam mine in the rice cooker. Works great also.
I think one of your chickens laid an egg, I can hear her yelling about it in the background 😂
😂😂👌🏼 I heard that too lol
I thought that was at my house😂
When😂
I heard that too😂
You can also place the dumplings on a plate and cover with a damp towel. (I usually grease the plate a little and cook for 2-3 minutes.)
The way you had to take a good 10 seconds with the chicken ones to take in the heat. 😂 my mouth would have been scorched. Lol
The sacrifices she makes for her viewers!
For like 3 bucks they are delicious.
They are...TJs is 40 min from me. I try to stock up, and when I feel like I want to eat out, I treat myself to a box of these
Soup dumplings in soup... In-soup-tion, if you will.
😂😂
Emmy, great shirt! Daughter and I are both Cornell University Alumni. Both of us loved our years on the Hill!!!
Hehe! I watched you take a bite of the first dumpling and as you tried to pick it up, the skin broke and the soup fell into the bowl.

I came to the comment section only to find out if anybody else has realised 😄
Have you tried Better Than Bouillion as a broth base?
That is my 127,000% favorite
I love Better Than Bullion.
I love Better Than Bullion.
I love Better Than Bouillon.
@@romonaelrod7870 What do you think about Better Than Bullion?
LOVE your shirt! My daughter graduated from Cornell University! We love Ithaca!
SO glad to finally see someone using the S&B Crunchy Garlic! I feel it's so often overlooked for a variety of reasons, but it is ADDICTING even without the spice. Thank you for showing it some love!
Where can you buy the S&B Crunchy Garlic? thank you!
They look identical to the pork dumplings I buy in my local shop. I put them in my ramen noodles, with mushrooms, green onions, and a poached egg
I know nothing about dumplings but I feel like adding them to ramen is sinful lol. Like adding croutons to a sandwich
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I learned it from my Japanese boyfriend who made it for me for 20 years.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282Sinfully delicious!
The ramen broth cannot possibly compare to what is inside those chicken things. They're amazing @@skeetsmcgrew3282
I wish you would've tried one or two of the veggie ones as per the instructions. 😔
Dang 😮😮 Emmy coming in with the mad knife skillz
I went through a period where I was obsessed with these
You should make homemade soup dumplings! I would love that!
My daughter got these for me about 2 weeks ago! They are sooooooo good! I highly recommend picking them up!

Hello From Ithaca. Love this tip. I'm heading to trader joe's tomorrow for these.
You are the BEST Emmy!
The pork and ginger ones are also fantastic with black vinegar

Soup dumplings cooked in soup is too much, hat on a hat
Kinda like wonton soup no?
The soup dumplings from Walmart come with a sauce to dip. I LOVE it!!
Well to be fair you didn’t try the veggie ones the right way so don’t know how they’d be done with either recommended method - the mushiness was not the fault of the dumpling itself
but also CHICKEN BROTH... way to do a disservice to the vegetarians/vegans!!!
Thanks Emmy you made me hungry for won ton soup …♥️♥️ I like those but nothing taste better than original WonTon soup ….
I loved the pork and ginger ones the most. So delicious.
Whenever there is a recall, Trader Joes is ALWAYS at the top of the list.....
The kids like the pork ones best. I haven't had soup dumplings yet but, I would love to. My favorite regular dumplings are pork and vegetable.
This is my husband’s go to when he is not feeling well. Easy om the tummy.
I eat these every morning before my workout. I microwave them, in the container, for 90 seconds. Perfection😊
Trader Joe’s has such great food quality and choices.
Emmy, could you please share the actual name on the packaging for the chili crisp garlic oil & where it can be purchased TIA
S&B umami topping crunchy garlic with chili oil
It's available on Amazon
These soup dumplings are amazing! My son, who is super picky, will devour them. The flavor of all of them are super flavourful.
Pork and ginger. Don’t live near a TJ but whenever I’m around one always pick up these.
Nice T-Shirt!

You should of tried one of each all 3 ways so you can see if they taste better or worse for each flavor.
Your voice is so soothing
I never had dumplings. They look good! Thank you lovely ❤

Chicken broth, Better than bouillon is FABULOUS!!! Keep in refrigerator after opening! Retired chef! Hope this helps!!
Mila Soup Dumplings are the best plus it comes with steamer sheets too
I love the soup dumplings. At my Trader Joe’s, the soup dumplings are rarely in stock.
Omg! I love these! So good! I’ve also had Costco’s version as well and they are delicious!

Now I feel I need to try this product🙂
Thanks for the info, grabbing some soon!
“The kids liked the pork ones best." :P
As a ginger hater I'm glad they have 1 flavour without ginger
Connecticut here. Thankyou Emmy 😋
Nice shirt! Go Upstate! I never would have tried them, but now might get them if in the mood.
The pork ones are great and microwaving them is the best way to do these somehow. I’ve tried other methods.

Ok I admit I was influenced and purchased the pork version today and made them for dinner. These are good.
The pork and ginger was my favorite. However due to a digestive problem I can no longer eat meat so, I will try the vegetarian dumplings.
I’m visiting my daughter at college tomorrow. Living in a dorm she does have a small freezer and microwave is her only form of heating. I’m already picking her up a TJ boba tea kit and might have to pick up a pack of these as well

That's my favorite umami topping. That stuff is so good.
Sounds delicious!! Am willing to give 'em a go. I live in New Zealand. Which NZ supermarket stocks them please?
I've never had a dumpling in soup that I adored. I always wish it just had noodles. But soup IN a dumpling, idk. Maybe that's the way to go
