    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 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.

      @@he4rt5 I suppose it refers to 'undesirable/not for human consumption/debatable' materials that sometimes make their way into, often, Chinese products.
      Although Chinese products are indeed more prone to such incidents than Japanese or Koreans, I believe most major companies are well up to standard nowadays.

      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.
