The two other flavors - the pork, shrimp and mushroom dumplings, along with the pork, shrimp and scallop dumplings - were similar in size and preparation methods. What’s so particularly exciting about these dumplings is that anyone can experience top-tier restaurant-quality soup dumplings from your home, no matter where you live.

The only shortcoming (and perhaps it was in the preparation) was that they didn’t have quite as much soup as the dumplings I’ve had at restaurants, but there was definitely enough to enjoy the full experience that comes with eating soup dumplings. I steamed these (using my Always Pan and Spruce Steamer) since it’s the recommended preparation - which should be noted, is different from the other two flavors. In short, these were just as flavorful, delicious, savory and rich as the ones I regularly get at a most famous soup dumpling destination in New York City. Frozen soup dumplings, which boast the novelty of soup within a dumpling, can be a bit hard to come by. But don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re basic. The most straightforward of the offerings are the pork soup dumplings. While all of the dumplings contain pork, they each had totally unique, distinct flavors that were incredibly delicious and really exciting. I was able to try out all three flavors and pair them with a variety of different sauces: some simple (just soy sauce) and some more complex - specifically Fly By Jing’s Sichuan Chili Crisp and Zhong Sauce. If you’re used to generic grocery store dumpling prices, this might seem surprisingly steep, but the brand claims higher prices are because of the quality ingredients.
Opt to purchase two bags of one flavor for $39.99, or get the most bang for your buck when you purchase six bags (with the option to choose two different flavors) for $107.99. You can enjoy these dumplings the way you would enjoy other dumplings - whether fried, boiled, steamed or in a soup. “I made these for myself because I couldn’t find good-quality frozen dumplings out there,” Gao says. All three options promise a savory, succulent and super-easy-to-prep meal that’s bursting with flavor and umami. While the flavors are rooted in Sichuan tradition, the dumplings are made in California and include USDA-certified pork and seafood.įly By Jing has launched three different choices: a pork soup dumpling a pork, shrimp and mushroom dumpling and a pork, shrimp and scallop dumpling. So what’s different about Fly By Jing’s offerings? To start, these dumplings are “meticulously made with premium all-natural ingredients, including pork, shrimp, scallop, mushrooms and more,” says Gao. They’re reliably delicious, comforting and super easy to whip up for any meal of the day. If you’re anything like me, chances are your freezer is no stranger to frozen dumplings. “As it happens, we’ve heard from our customers that it’s also the dish they most frequently slather with our Sichuan Chili Crisp or Zhong Sauce.”Īhead, we dive into the dumplings, discuss whether they’re worth their price tag and test them out alongside Fly By Jing’s bestselling sauces. “Dumplings are one of the first dishes I learned to make with my grandmother growing up, and I’ve since lost count of how many dumplings I’ve pleated and served over the years at my restaurant and pop-up dinners,” she says. It’s the company’s first foray into frozen foods, and while it initially seemed like quite a jump from sauces and condiments, Gao says the decision was really a no-brainer. So I was totally intrigued when Fly By Jing announced it was launching a new product category: ready-to-cook dumplings. The brand also won me over with its mission to “shift culture and reclaim the narrative on Chinese food,” as Fly By Jing founder Jing Gao tells Underscored. While Fly By Jing’s Sichuan Chili Crisp has been around since 2018, I discovered it earlier this year and haven’t looked back - specifically at a life without this totally delicious, mouthwatering hot oil that’s packed with flavor and the perfect amount of heat.
