Prime Food Vegetable Dumpling with Cabbage and Mushroom

These froze dumplings from Kam Man were really good. Though, what struck me about them first is how they do not match the picture on the bag... The ones on the bag look like gyoza type dumplings, long, with thin skins, like the Day-Lee ones. The actual dumplings have a thick, chewy skin and are squatter. After the initial doubt played out, I decided that these were pretty good. The way we made them, was to boil them first for five minutes or so, then to pan fry them. The original instructions just said to boil, but I like the extra texture afforded by pan frying. These guys are a little tougher than the gyoza style ones usually are, so they are able to take it. Even little rips don't necessitate a loss of filling. And on the topic of filling, I have to give these good marks. The little bit of mushroom in the dumplings is tastable, and the filling sticks together without being pasty.

Score: 4/5 - Chewy, satisfying skin, and simple, well-textured filling. These have hit the top of the list for veggie dumplings so far.
