Review: Trader Joe’s Pork Gyoza Potstickers

June 17, 2013 by ChrissyJee Leave a Comment

Review: Trader Joe's Pork Gyoza PotstickerTrader Joe’s is my favorite grocery store.  Great price for organic food and great service.  I picked up a bag of their pork gyoza, the japanese word for dumpling.  Here is my criteria for delicious dumplings.

Filling: great flavor, nice texture, healthy balance of meat and lots of vegetables.  I am allergic to shrimp and do not eat red meat so you won’t see reviews (or recipes) on dumplings with these ingredients.
Skin: thin! It’s the wrapper for all the delicious goodness inside

Review: Trader Joe's Pork Gyoza PotstickerThe dumplings have a textured bottom.  Their closures are messy but after they’re cooked you can’t tell.

Review: Trader Joe's Pork Gyoza PotstickerThe list of ingredients included things I knew and things I had not heard of.  I always get nervous about the things I’ve never heard of.  I followed the cooking instructions for stovetop cooking.

Review: Trader Joe's Pork Gyoza PotstickerI filled a 12″ pan with the whole bag.

Review: Trader Joe's Pork Gyoza Potsticker

The Filling: Pork, cabbage, onion, green onion.  It’s a little too oniony and peppery for my taste.  The Trader Joe’s vegetable gyoza  had the same strong onion taste.

The Skin: thin, just the way I like it.

Summary: The filling’s strong onion and pepper taste was strong.  The girls didn’t like it.  If it was just me, I could keep a bag in the freezer for emergency purposes but since the girls won’t eat them, it defeats the purpose of having an emergency stash.

Star rating: 2.5 out of 5.
