Crispy Trader Joe’s Dumplings with Chili Crunch (Quick 15-Minute Meal)
Crispy Trader Joe’s Dumplings with Chili Crunch are one of my favorite quick lunches or easy dinners. Steamed pork dumplings are topped with gyoza sauce, Japanese BBQ sauce, Kewpie mayo, chili crunch, crispy onions, and fresh chives for a simple 15-minute meal that’s full of flavor.

Notes
This is one of my favorite 15-minute lunches or easy dinners when I want something quick but still really flavorful. These dumplings pair perfectly with Bibigo white rice or Taylor Farms Asian Chopped Salad to make it a more complete meal. You can also adjust the sauces and toppings to your taste depending on how spicy or saucy you like them. Add more chili crunch if you like heat, or extra Kewpie mayo for a creamier finish. And don't stress about the Trader Joe's items—you can find similar items at just about any grocery store :)
