BEST FROZEN DUMPLINGS Taste Test! Getting TEAR GASSED in Istanbul
I'm finally doing a frozen dumpling taste test review video with a dozen brands from Asian supermarkets. I bough dumplings, soup dumplings, buns to try to figure out which ones are the best.

Mikey yes he can eat spicy food myself as will I eat hot oil on almost everything but I make my hot oil out of Thai chilies and Carolina Reapers I've been eating it so long that I've had to put the refrained Reaper oil in it to get it spicy enough you do grow a tolerance to spicy food I don't know where I'll go from here LOL

Fun fact, the Korean dumplings were actually on sale at Costco for a while so probably the easiest to get if you don't have access to an Asian market depending on your area. I'd ask for you to include some dumplings you can get in normal supermarkets (like LingLing), but that would be like demanding Maruchan Cup Noodles in a Cup Noodle taste test.

9:40 Korean dumplings are still on sale in Costco, at least ones in Southern California. I believe local costcos sometimes carry different products specific to local clients. I know one costco in SoCal carries spam while another one 1 hr drive away doesn't carry any.

I've had those Korean dumplings often, and they are solid for frozen dumplings. One thing I can say is many frozen Asian food blows many US frozen food out of the water.
I like how mike is so used to spice that he got tear gassed and thought it was just the chilies
This kitchen is going to become iconic as a background by the time this is all over with
In times of darkness, this is the video the world needs! Give us the tea Mikey!
Hope you’re staying safe and healthy Mike!!
I laughed at the "this is healthier because it's green"
I’m so glad you’re still making content, I love this kind of video especially considering how we’re all stuck at home with limited options. Also your response to getting tear gassed is so funny lol - huh the chilli really has some kick! 😂😂😂

My parents would always mispronounce "dark vinegar" so we grew up thinking it was "duck vinegar"... When you don't have parchment paper, put down a leaf of cabbage or lettuce which is actually how it should be done.
This is literally the video I was looking for my entire life finally someone did this I've had so many bad frozen dumplings lol! Thank you Mikey!!!!
I watched this in the grocery store just to find the brands 🤣
Ok. Mikey telling stories and eating copious amounts of food. Definitely now a mukbang storytime channel and I'm here for it
Thanks Mikey! Love these reviews of dumplings and supermarkets!
Love you Mike!! Been watching you for years this made my day. 💕

I'm really enjoying the format of these videos Mikey. I've been a fan of yours for years now and as much as I like the videos they've started to blend together. This is a nice change. That being said, I'm looking forward to watching your travels as soon as it's safe.
Ok but how cute is Mikey’s little grass pen he’s using to rate these dumplings
Yay Mikey 1M to gooooo🔥
Mike, we *needed* this. Even before the quarantine, I loved stocking up on frozen dumplings. The problem is there is so much to choose from we never know which is any good!
Please do more of these types of content. Super overwhelmed with the options at the Asian grocery and this was super helpful!
I need this guide. I never know which to get. You are THE expert.
I wasn't worried about getting it on my clothes didn't want to waste the hot oil lol 😂😂😂 Mikey you're freaking amazing bud 💙🐐
Thanks Mikey for keeping us entertained during lockdown!
Love you bro, congrats on the 1 mil subs
I really envy places that have so many brands of frozen asian food at the market
The moment he opened that custard bun I fell in love with that bao
Loving the content. Thank you for trying the dumplings for us. I've looked at the different kinds and brands didnt know where too start.
Mmmmm looks yummy!!!!!!! Thanks for keeping up with the videos. Your content never disappoints
I've been googling frozen dumplings all day! You magically posted this video while I was watching your video on how to make pork buns. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I need to try them ASAP! Someone help! Where can I order them from and have them shipped to me?
Why didn't you steam the dumplings in your rice cooker? I just purchased a rice cooker that very strongly resembles the one on your kitchen counter and it came with a steam function as well as a basket that can be used for steaming.
You are awesome. Thank you for working so hard to provide us content more so during this time.
Almost to 1,000,000 subs!! Love your vids mike!!
Mike love your shows. As a traditional Chinese, a piece cabbage will do way better than parchment paper, silky dumpling skin texture.
The last dumpling you dream the small pork and leek ones are my favorite and it does say on the package to steam over a bed of cabbage leaves but they are so good when not over cooked and empty they are thwe’re best
love Mike because he is one of us. Everyday food and travel enthusiast. He doesn’t pretend to be an expert and he’s so down to earth and personable, watching these videos can be so comforting :) thanks Mike Chen! Pls do a video trying diff frozen dim sum or desserts!
It's always nice to watch you! Love your positive vibes. I wish i had enough time to watch all your content
When quarantine ends, please go to a Nepalese restaurant for momo!

thank you for this review!!! I love it!
