    Someone may have already mentioned this, but the mango powder is called amchur and it’s made from unripe mangoes. It adds a really unique sour brightness to things and is common to see in chana masala and other chickpea dishes because it pairs well with their earthy flavor.

      It started as a very hipster Portland-esque store…especially with the overall friendly vibe and Hawaiian shirts but it’s quickly become a niche affordable store for fancy cheese, amazing packaged and frozen items and oddly enough, cheap floral arrangements? Their brand is pretty top tier tbh, like the quality is always good.

      Right! Their meal shortcut items are amazing, as are their basic items like olive oil, cheeses, and the spices they carry for example. Where you can blow $$ is if you get sucked into buying their multitude of snacks, most of which you don't really need.

    I held my breath through the cod and ratatouille for your verdict. It's exactly the type of meal I'd make for myself on a random weekday, so it's my go-to frozen dinner at Trader Joe's. I also really like their seasonal butternut squash mac and cheese. It's very similar to their regular one.
    My trick for frozen dumplings is cooking them in my Instant Pot in a steamer basket with one cup of water on low pressure for 4 minutes. They're consistently plump and happy and never have those dry edges that some microwaved dumplings get.

    The Jalapeño Cream Cheese Wontons are a 10/10 with their sweet chili sauce, then I make spicy mustard like at Chinese restaurants. Dip in both of those, it’s heaven on earth. 🌍 🤩

    Re the salt: TJ’s doesn’t use msg for some bizarre reason, making much of their food a bit bland and lacking umami (especially in the snacky category). Get a bottle of msg to add to their dishes and it makes a world of difference!

    Put the fish nuggets in soft tortillas with a slaw (I like Trader Joe's broccoli carrot slaw), then mix some of the TJ's greek goddess dressing with a little sour cream and salsa verde for a dressing on top....SO GOOD!

    • @christineday3245
      @christineday3245 Месяц назад

      A TJ lady was making tacos with the fish nuggets once a long time ago, with their shredded cabbage, guacamole, and cilantro dressing. It's weird but for some reason, even though they're breaded, the nuggets work in tacos.

    Jonny! From a Trader Joe’s employee, I recommend you try coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for your soup dumplings. It’s healthier and I think it enhances the flavor way more!! A little bit of a sweet and salty moment. 🥰

    I really like that the orange chicken comes with brown rice that has bits of water chestnut in it, plus peas and broccoli, AND the sauce is separate so I can dial down the sweetness. The full bag also has separate sauce but isn't a complete meal that I can microwave at work.
