It's a very small gyoza I think it is already at the limit how much filling they fit into one before bursting.
agreed, but this is still one of the better brands off the shelf. If you want better quality you'll need to go to the dumpling restaurants or make them yourself
Very salty
I've yet to find frozen dumplings that are not loaded with salt
Very salty you say. On back of packet it says "413mg sodium per 125g serving"
A 220g tin of Heinz baked beans marketed as a superfood and extreme high fibre goodness has 781mg of sodium per serving.
A small 105g tin of John West wild Alaskan red salmon has 463mg of sodium per 75g serving.
A tin of uber healthy Fagioli Bianchi(white) beans has 369.2mg of sodium per 125gm serving.So these Gyoza are pretty good in that respect and obviously anything that contains seafood is going to contain a bit more natural salt than say Vegetable Gyoza.
I think for a quick easy meal chucked into some miso flavoured soup+noodles these are great. Thanks OP for up.
All prepackaged food is loaded with salt and sugar usually so that they taste good and more addictive (ie repeat purchase) then made at home recipes.
Thank you for the information, 413mg is a tremendous amount and remember Prawns are very high in Cholesterol so if you are a responsible person, you would not eat these. The marketing use of sodium is misleading, it's really 1200mg salt per 125gm serving. As for baked beans, you can buy low salt versions.
Salt is not dangerous.
Cholestrol is the building blocks of your bodies cells no less. So not dangerous.
Err, just where did you pull that figure from? 1200mg of salt,really? Show me some links to your statement please: i.e sauce pls.
@freemoneyhunter: So converting the Gyoza sodium amount per serving gives you this>>>
1.25 grams of salt (this is less than a quarter of your recommended daily intake)
Australian adults are recommended to consume less than 5g (less than 1 teaspoon) of salt a day.
@Luc: "1.25 grams of salt (this is less than a quarter of your recommended daily intake)" You are looking at it wrong, it's like saying having 1 beer is only 1/2 of your recommended intake of alcohol. 1500mg is the maximum you should consume per day. 5g is more than one teaspoon, I've never heard of any health organisation in Australia recommending keeping under 5 grams, that is as much as in 3-4 packets of instant soups or noodles.
How long do you need to cook them in miso soup before they're done? Do they fall apart?
You make your soup and then you cook your gyoza as per the instructions; a little oil in pan,turn them over after a few minutes to get a bit of brown happening and then you pour some water in or stock and pop the lid on and shake the pan a bit. After 2 minutes or so take them out and pop into you bowls of soup.
Most of the research on salt suggests restriction doesn't really impact health and that too low levels of salt can be harmful. I'm pretty disappointed that everywhere has reduced how much they salt their chips when there's no benefits.
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-sodium-per-day…
You should have a salt restricted diet if you have high blood pressure, ideally below 500mg per day, the body only requires 115mg. The problem with salt is it causes water retention, the more salt you eat, the more your body will dilute your blood causing the heart pump more fluid around, if you have narrowed arteries this is bad, if you have heart disease it is bad.
RDI is 1.5g/day
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56068/table/summarytab…Sodium intake between 3-6g per day was associated with lower mortality, showing that too little salt can increase cardiovascular disease

Woolworths website is telling me People Who Bought This Item Also Bought Quiltin toilet paper.
Sounds legit, think I bought those 2 together last time.
It's KB's…. King Browns
Libra Pads for me….
Woolworths is telling me people also bought 14pk Libra Regular Invisible Pads… with wings!
Did they also buy Red Bull to get more wings?
- Quilton
Tarentino?
Probably got something to do with either wiping your mouth with toilet paper because they are too tasty need to have more saving costs on tissues otherwise getting sick too much gone to the loo, a lot more toilet paper…
In all seriousness it's only a matter of tracking your spending habit when things are half priced together that week
Never had these before but they look like pierogi.
"Gyoza" is just the Japanese name for what Chinese call "Jiaozi", and Anglophones call "Chinese Dumplings".
I wish pierogi was widely available in Australia. It's like crack. In Canada it can be had for $2/kg at the supermarket.
Ingredients -
Filling (60%) [Prawn (45%) (Vannamei Prawn LitopenaeusVannamei, Salt, Mineral Salts (500,331), White Cabbage,Chives, Soy Bean Oil, Spring Onion, Sesame Oil, Thickener(1442), Wheat Flour, Ginger, Onion, Soy Sauce, Sugar, Garlic,Salt, Vegetable Extract Powder, White Pepper], Dough [WheatFlour, Tapioca Starch, Water, Palm Oil, Salt]
So there's 270g of prawn meat in the 1kg bag.
For $10, that's not bad at all. Even though gyoza are trivial to make, this is cheaper than making them yourself.
Isn't frozen prawn tail around $20/kg on regular specials?
270g, i am yet to find anything in those dumplings that resembles 45% prawn. does Prawn Poo considered part of that 45%?
Salt is listed twice in filings, plus mineral salt and soy sauce. Then salt again in dough. Is it salty enough?
Probably not. Woolies website tells me people who bought this, also bought Pringles Sour Cream. Apparently they need more salt after eating this.

Acdording to:
http://www.prawnguide.org/bad/Vannamei prawns are native to the Pacific coast of Latin America, from Peru to Mexico however they have become the major farmed species across Asia due to their resilience to high density stocking and high productivity. They are farmed under intensive systems which often require the use of chemicals and antibiotics and may release large quantities of polluted water back into the ecosystem. Vannamei prawn farming is associated with destruction of mangrove forests and land degradation, introduction of non-native species, and spread of disease to the wild. Intensive prawn farming also requires more feed input than extensive systems. There are serious concerns about human rights abuse in the processing and farming sectors and especially the fisheries that provide feed. Avoid.
Thats no different to the intensive farming of other animals (chicken etc)
They might be Thailand prawns who knows if they are from poor waters
A while ago prawns had disease from Thailand. I wouldn't touch these processed food which can cover up such a thing. Banned for sale in Oz
They also taste good and are far more affordable than wild prawns.
Are you also going to stop eating chicken, and only eat wild pheasant?
They also taste good and are far more affordable than wild prawns.
Perhaps. I didnt say dont buy it. Im just sharing what I found.
Are you also going to stop eating chicken, and only eat wild pheasant?
No, but I do choose to buy organic where I can.
The farmers ride dolphins during the round up.
Love these gyozas. Thanks!
Love the Haw Gow in particular. Definitely worth a purchase. I have said this before but go and boil some Har Gow for 7 minutes then add them to some Shim brand 2 minutes noodles. YUM!
You are suppose to steam the Har Gow, not boiling them. RTFM.
Funnily enough I had the same reaction when I suggested boiling them last time. I don’t mind steamed but I was very impressed at how the whole Har Gow maintained its structure in boiling water (soup or even congee) and kept its delicious sweet taste and texture.
I’d suggest try boiling some yourself in some nice chicken soup stock and then decide.
One of the reason Har Gow is supposed to be steamed, and not boiled, is the dough is supposed to be thin enough just to cover the filling. Otherwise it will be too chewy (not the hairy star wars big ape).
Now i can imagine how thick the skin is, given it can maintain its form in boiling water :)
The har gow comes with a manual?
Time to fill my freezer again! Makes for a nice quick and tasty meal.
Anyone know where it is made?
Product of Thailand
Are they those prawns that live in dark water?
It seems these are best prepared in a steamer, as the microwave approach results in stewed gyoza.
Chuck em' in the oven if you want em' crispy.
I prefer them deep fried ;)
These are delicious, but the KB green curry prawn dumplings take it to another level
Are the vegetable ones 1/2 price also? I prefer them to the prawn ones.
I think they were, yes.
also if you have an air fryer 15 mins = perfect!
I didn't see any Vegetable ones on sale at Liverpool NSW, just a ton of prawn ones
I don't think Woolworths sells the vegetable ones, only prawn.
These are one of the best frozen gyoza. I suspect most people do not actually cook them in the way gyoza are meant to be cooked. You need to pan fry them until base is crispy, then add one table spoon of water and close wok/pan with lid. Simmer until water is completely evaporated. Yummy~
How else do people cook them?
Use a 50/50 sesame oil, veg oil mix when frying the bottom.. Takes them to a new level
I used to cook them that way but now I prefer them just steamed (also prefer leaving them for 10 minutes rather than the 7 suggested). They come with enough oil in them with soybean and sesame oil being two of the first listed ingredients and palm oil down lower.
$20 is not the normal full price.
$20+ is for the 1KG bags.
I can tell you this …..
This KB is triple quality than Crazy Dragon !
But don't go Broden itChecked 2 stores and could not find them and get "Sorry, temporarily unavailable." when trying to order online for pick up so don't know where/how/still widely available?
There were only a few packs at my local, and no empty shelf. Don't they normally get extra stock for these promos? Maybe somebody made an error.
They had heaps in two locations in the same aisle at Liverpool NSW (one on either end of the aisle)
It's not that hard to make them, and homemade ones are significantly superior.
For comparison Costco have this on special for $12.49 for 1.2kg.
This deal is very comparable.
It gets better is you use 5% off WW gift cards and buy 3x 1kg bags and score a 4c off WwFuel voucher. Given most sedans take about 70l, you stand to save a further $4.40 off the 3bag purchase!!!
That’s $9.18 a bag when buying 3 and taking 70L of fuel and using 5% gift cards.
From Thailand? No thanks….
Aldi ones are made in China, I hear you.
Avoid all like the plague! Oz being flooded by cheap inferior foreign food much to the detriment of local producers.
I bought last time they were half price and wasn’t a fan, they didn’t seem to have much filling in them 😕
