Microwavable Chicken Soup Dumplings

Trader Joe's Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings are Sold Frozen

— February 25, 2024 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's wants consumers to be able to enjoy the delicious taste of Xiao Long Bao on a moment's notice with its new Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings.

For those who may have never had them before, Xiao Long Bao is a type of small Chinese steamed bun filled with steaming hot soup on the inside. Trader Joe's own Steamed Chicken Soup Dumplings are made by an expert Chinese dumpling supplier, who formed its dumpling dough using a proprietary method that ensures there is zero leakage once sealed. This means that when you bite in, you'll get a full spoonful of savory chicken broth seasoned with onion, green onion, soy sauce, and ginger. Best of all, the dumplings are sold frozen so all you need to do is cut a corner of the steaming bag and microwave the dumplings for one or two minutes.
