I followed these instructions and the dumplings came out perfect! How Do The Dumplings Taste?The dumplings taste amazing! Your first bite into the tender dough releases the gelatinous soup so get ready to catch it with a spoon or prepare you mouth for the rush of hot liquid. The combination of chicken green onion and ginger is spot on and the overall flavor experience is quite savory. All in all, these soup dumplings are spot on and are a great sub-300 calorie lunch. What is Missing?I laughed when I opened the box and saw the tray that was holding the dumplings. It looks exactly like the tray that Bibigo uses for their steamed dumplings I buy at Costco which makes me suspect that Bibigo is making these dumplings for Trader Joe’s. The detail in the tray that makes me think this is the two diamonds in the tray that say “Sauce Here”. When you buy the Bibigo steamed dumplings you get a little sauce packet that you pour into the “Sauce Here” diamonds which then evenly distribute the sauce to the six dumplings. The Trader Joe’s dumplings do not come with a packet of sauce to pour into the “Sauce Here” diamonds. Honestly, the dumplings really don’t need any extra sauce but the diamonds made me want some.

Trader Joe’s Soup Dumplings ReviewWe are going to go on record and state that Trader Joe’s soup dumplings are one of the tastiest foods at TJ’s—frozen or otherwise. They are just that good!

They’re one of the best things TJs has to offer.” “Super easy to make (microwave for 2 min in the tray they come in), and there is actually a decent amount of broth coming out of each dumpling! The filling was really flavorful. Very pleasantly surprised” “Adore these. Whole box is so filling and pretty low calorie too. They’re so warm and comforting.” “I love these so much! They’re one of my all-time favorite TJ’s finds. I actually think I’m a little burnt out on them because I’ve eaten them so much lately. Going to take a break for a few weeks but I’m sure they’ll be back in my cart soon enough.” FAQsWas Trader Joe’s soup dumplings discontinued?Good news! Trader Joe’s soup dumplings are not discontinued. If you can’t find them in the frozen foods section, ask a Trader Joe’s employee to check and see when they will be back in stock. It’s not uncommon for Trader Joe’s soup dumplings to be out of stock as they are a very popular item. How do you serve Trader Joe’s soup dumplings?Depending on how fancy you want to get, you can eat Trader Joe’s soup dumplings directly from their tray (remember it’s supposed to be a single serving!) or you can serve them along with other Trader Joe’s Asian favorites like Trader Joe’s Pork Shu Mai and Trader Joe’s Chicken Gyoza Potstickers (for an inexpensive dim sum experience at home!)…. or even entrees like Trader Joe’s Pad Thai. Does Trader Joe’s have veggie soup dumplings?Unfortunately, at the moment, Trader Joe’s has not released veggie soup dumplings. If it’s an item you’d like to request, Trader Joe’s has a form you can fill out on their website for feedback and product suggestions. How do you eat Trader Joe’s soup dumplings?With a spoon! Trader Joe’s recommends eating each dumpling on a large spoon. “Since the broth inside will get quite hot, we recommend placing each Dumpling in a large, deep spoon and puncturing the skin with a pair of chopsticks to let the soup cool slightly (and let the spoon catch any soup spillage) before eating.” We personally like to use a ramen spoon or chirirenge. This allows you to bite a tiny hole in the dumpling, letting the soup run into the spoon. The dumpling and broth should then be consumed in one bite. Another option is to eat each dumpling with chopsticks, also in one bite. If eating with chopsticks, allow the dumpling to cool slightly so the broth isn’t too hot.
