40% off KB's Prawn Gyoza 1KG $12.70 (RRP $21.30) @ Woolworths

1280

Not the best deal compared to when it's 50% off but I haven't seen a 50% off deal in awhile, so 40% is good enough for now.
These are quite tasty when pan fried.

    These are so good !

    I air fry mine.

    • How many minutes and temperature? Mine always come out too burnt/dry haha

      • Yeah mine comes out hardand unevenly cooked.

      • I cook it at around 150 degrees for about 4-5 mins to cook the inside but not fry the outside and then I set it to around 180 degrees for 2-3 mines to give it a nice crisp skin.

        But I do this after defrosting it

        It also depends on how many you put in there and the size / age of your unit in addition to the brand.

        I have the Phillips XL model.

        I panfry mine by:
        1. heat a little oil in the pan
        2. fry the bottom of gyozas for a few minutes
        3. add a tablespoon or so of water (depending on how many you have in one pan) + IMMEDIATELY cover lid
        3.Let the gyozas steam in your pan for about 5 minutes
        4. open lid and fry a bit longer- you can turn them on different sides once you see it's golden brown.

        I like to fry the bottom and the side for extra crispiness. I also eyeball the timing of steaming vs frying time.

        • +2

          Just a heads up, pouring water onto hot oil will cause the water to burst and cause hot oil and water to splash all over you.

          Google:
          So, when you pour water on hot oil, that water comes in contact with higher temperature than its own boiling temperature, so the water starts boiling immediately, and busts both oil and water around. … When water is rapidly heated it instantly turns into steam and expands .

          • +1

            @Fellandor: I have had no issues using the same technique as Jenz. It’s a relatively small amount of water and oil, but still need to be careful.

          • @Fellandor: I don't ever have my heat on high. It's only ever between low and medium. It's not about blasting the gas on high at the first go, it's about the slow warm up of the pan. Also, only put a little oil (small drizzle like the amount you use to fry an egg) and let it coat the bottom of the pan. When you add a tiny bit of water, you immediately cover with a lid. I do move the pan about just to get the water to slide around for even steam distribution.

          • +1

            @Fellandor: Your reminder is a good one for those who don't have much experience in pan frying. The sound of the pan frying should be a gentle sizzle, not a loud explosion.

            • +1

              @Jenz91: Yep! That was mainly my intention for my comment.

          • +3

            @Fellandor: I think Fellator is confusing pan-fry with deep-fry :-)

            • @bargaino: Not confusing, I should have clarified my comment that it was for the less experienced individuals that might come across these comments. Also I think you got my name confused with your mother. ;)

          If you mix a flat teaspoon of flour into a cupful of water when you use your cooking method, you'll increase the crispiness.

    • Interesting… how long & how hot? Sounds like worth trying

      • I cook these gyozas from frozen. I've never cooked them in a rice cooker (with steam function) though as I prefer them crispy, hence the pan frying. I would say for step 2, fry for about 2 minutes with the heat on medium. Then for step 3, you can do either 5 or 7 minutes, but just check on it and once you see the skin is kind of translucent, then you can proceed to step 4, which will take maybe another 3 minutes at least. It depends how crispy you want them to be. I just did mine through trial and error.

      This is the best way to cook perfect dumpling.

      Don't forget to turn on the English subtitle.

    • Is steaming good?
      No mince in the ingredients. Is it right?

      • Steaming is good but pan frying them with a some water added first like others have mentioned is the best

    Thanks OP…My favourite KB.Sorry….my favourite KB is the Prawn Dumplings (Gyozo)

  • +1

    I remember RRP is $16. Did they increase the price?

    • Hmm, I can't remember if the $16 was for the kilo or the 750g. I'm thinking it was for the kilo though, because I remember the 50% off deal for $8

      • Pretty sure they're different sized packs. I think $16 might have been 750 g. Coles and Woolies have different sized packs.

    • +2

      I think Coles has the different sized pack, so they don't get caught up in price matching with Woolies. I think they were half price at $8, and these ones were half price at $9.50. Crap AUD not helping I guess.

  • Where are they made?

    • -5

      Australia

    • +5

      Made in Thailand

      • -7

        Hope it's not made in China;-(

        • Hope you will gain intelligence

        • it's OK, no bat or pangolin in the ingredient list …

        • Its okay to be Made in China now as thier new cases are among the lowest in the world :)

  • +5

    I find Prawns from China / Thailand are usually cheaper but my personal preference has always been to buy Aussie / Kiwi seafood

    • +2

      Unfortunately 90% of the dumpling uses prawns from thailand or vietnam or china. Happy to pay the premium for Aussie prawns in dumplings after the 40-50pc weekly special discount.

  • +3

    Just follow the instructions but I would suggest putting extra water than the recommend….70% of the cooking is by the steam from the water….it should be crispy at the bottom and moist on the top

    • Yeah I don’t know how the 1 spoon guy is doing it, they don’t cook with no water

    woop woop it's gyoza yime again

    • was driving to pick up an Easter cake and saw some Woolies and plundered the freezer

  • +2

    Thanks to this site
    I've tried all the prawn gyoza at Woolworths, in the past year

    These by far are the best

    • Have you tried the aldi ones? They are decent and this price every day of the week

      • I tried
        Kb
        Chen's
        Dragon
        Hong Kong brand (spelling?)

        What's the Aldi ones like?

        • They were good, I'm not across as many brands, they aren't quite restaurant quality maybe but they are pretty good, within the variance of being badly cooked by me

          • @Jackson: Might try them next time.

            To be honest the kb ones, if they served them to me at a Chinese restauanrt, I'd be very content

            • +1

              @Samsungnote10: Time to open a delivery service! BTW I had some last night, i woudln't call the filling chunky, but there were whole albeit small prawns in there. I was fine with them, might pick up some KBs to try

      • Jackson do you recall the size of the ALDI packet? I had them recently and they were great but yes roughly half the price everyday. I wasn't sure if they were 750g or 1kg?

        • yeah I think it's 750g, and definitely 29 pieces, from memory 8 or 9 bucks?

      • Aldi ones have hardly any filling and taste very strange

    • I like the kbs becuase there is huge chunks of prawns in it, the other brands seem to have more other stuff

      • +2

        Agreed. I've only ever tried Mr Chen's prawn gyoza to compare with KBs and yes, KBs definitely have bigger chunks of prawn whereas Mr Chen's prawns are more blended into like a mince paste I think. I can't actually find the chunks.

        • +1

          I hate the Mr Chen ones, it was just pure mince, totally the wrong texture and feels so wrong to eat, especially if you've ever had proper one from a Japanese restaurant.

          At least there's some solid pieces in the KB ones, doesn't feel like you're eating a lump of mush.

  • Anyone know if the purchase limit is two per person??

    • I don't think there is a purchase but I would say 'buy what you need'.

      • -1

        not many left in fridge managed to get 2…., bet there are hoarders

  • The $8 pack of 30 at aldi are better tbh

    • Came on just to ask this question, but it's actually a pack of 29 with the meat ones, only the veg is 30

  • How do these compare to the ones you get from Chinese supermarkets etc?

    • I like this one more and it's made with a traditional Japanese recipe.

    • +1

      The ones in Beijing are better but far less convenient…

    • I like the prawn bits and the overall flavour. Although I have not bought any prawn dumplings/gyozas from the Chinese supermarkets. Keep in mind that gyoza skins are thinner than the typical Chinese dumpling.

    • depends on brand

  • I bought these a while back, not even sure I got the right dumplings. Are these green on the inside? I 100% have the prawn packet but think they're actually veggie in the packet, there is literally no prawn in them.

    • They're not green on the inside… they do have little pieces of vegetables. The green ones you refer to are the vegetable gyozas, which have a different filling and I'm sure they wouldn't include seafood in them.

      • Thanks for that,

        I really think the wrong dumplings were in the pack. Might try again.

  • -1

    I used to be (still is kinda) a big fan of these but after trying from Costco, I find Costco version of these heaps heaps better!

  • these are regularly $12-14 at spudshed (WA).

  • -1

    Not trying to rain on anyone parade but Mr Chen's Frozen Prawn Hargow Dumplings is better and can be found in Coles, probably Woolworth as well.

    • I tried those the skins on those frozen prawn hargow feels like chewing plastic mate.

      • the skin is more of a chewy rice texture (I think it's made from rice flour). Whereas the gyozas and typical Chinese dumplings are made from flour.

        • -1

          Yes but something feels awkward about those compare to have fresh ones at yum cha…

    • +2

      I love Mr Chen's prawn hargow dumplings but they're a different type of dumpling. They're not gyozas. But Mr Chen's do have prawn gyoza so if you like the brand, it's worth trying it out.

    • I know people eating Spam so yeah it’s big, diverse world

  • Tried these the other day - was very surprised at how good they were. Perfect for a work from home lunch treat.

  • Have these all the time, we just chuck them into our sunbeam steamer for about 30mins.

    I had this on alert…I'm so happy

    • How do you have this on alert?

      • When you do a search in the search bar, press enter and then a list of results will appear. There is a ‘create alert’ written underneath the search bar which you can click on and they’ll notify you.

    We steam or boil these. Quick soup for dinner:

    1 litre liquid stock.
    Sofrito (onion, carrot & celery) chopped super-fine.
    A dash of soy, a shake of pepper.
    Bring to boil.
    Add 8-12 gyoza or whatever dumpling.
    3-4 minutes later, add one wrap of noodles for final 4 minutes.
    Serves 2.

    *Hakubaku Ramen noodles are divided into 3 portions per pack.
    * We prefer a "chicken style" vegan stock because it's relatively mild.
