Extra Details:
What are your favorite frozen foods from popular Asian grocery stores like H Mart, Ranch Market, or California Market? I welcome all recommendations - appetizers, side dishes, main entrees or dessert!
Frozen takoyaki. I actually use takoyaki flour to make my takoyaki, and I find it as easy as making pancakes, but it requires some practice and getting used to. You can get J Basket Takoyaki, and if you prepare it right, it tastes quite nice. But I urge you to make your own takoyaki - it's so much better. You can get them at Mitsuwa.
These are hands down my favorite. I suggest cooking them in the air fryer, and they're the perfect dessert or sweet treat - crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside.
This is so yummy and tastes better than Jjajangmyeon from most Korean-Chinese restaurants.
This Jjajangmyeon meal kit is made by Lee Yeon Bok, a renowned South Korea chef known for his expertise in Chinese cuisine. With decades of experience, he has become a beloved figure in South Korea's culinary scene, particularly for his modern take on Chinese dishes. And this kit does not disappoint.
Following the instructions, the noodles are prepared to perfection, and there is a good amount of vegetables and meat bits. I sometimes add more pork or beef (depending on the type of protein I crave) to make a meal more protein-rich and filling. SO GOOD.
Bibigo dumplings are hands down the tastiest dumplings you’ll find at most Asian markets. The flavor is just on point—perfectly seasoned with a juicy filling, and the wrapper has the right thickness that holds everything together without being too doughy. Whether you steam them or pan-fry, they always come out super delicious. The pork and vegetable ones are a personal favorite, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any flavor. Definitely worth grabbing a bag next time you're at the market and keeping it in the freezer.
