It's already late autumn. I want a hot meal.
When we think of hot meals, we think of hot pot and soup, but many people actually eat gyoza with their families.
In Japan, gyoza = grilled gyoza, but boiled gyoza is recommended when it's cold!
Taiyo Market currently sells more than 10 types of Chinese soup dumplings .
So, this time, for those who want to try different types of dumplings instead of the usual meat dumplings, we will introduce a ranking of popular Chinese dumplings (boiled dumplings)!
I thought for a moment that I would share the ranking with the photos, but all the product images look exactly the same.
The image after cooking cannot be seen from the outside.
It's the same with the half-bitten, sizzling, steamy cross section 😅
So, it's a little hard to tell from the photo, but I'll introduce you to the ranking and popular points!
Let's take a look to see if your favorite is at the top, or if it's a connoisseur's favorite flavor! !
10th place Tohoku Sour Sauce Gyoza
If you think of sour cabbage white meat hotpot, you'll understand that this soup dumpling is the best match with pork fat. It just debuted in the summer and may not have been noticed in stores yet. Maybe I'll improve my ranking in the future...
9th place: Boiled gyoza with eggplant (boiled gyoza with eggplant)
Despite debuting the most recently, it has already ranked in 8th place. It seems to be a standard boiled dumpling for Chinese people (sorry, I haven't been able to try it yet).
Shepherd's purse contains a lot of iron and manganese, and is said to have a blood pressure lowering effect.
8th place: Nirayana soup dumplings (boiled dumplings with chives) 
Chinese soup dumplings do not contain garlic, but chives are preferred.
This has been a staple since the store opened.
7th place Chinese cabbage soup dumplings (boiled dumplings with Chinese cabbage)
Even in Japan, Chinese cabbage is familiar as an ingredient for gyoza, so this ranking makes sense.
6th place: Soup dumplings (boiled dumplings with fennel)
It contains fennel, or fennel.
When fennel appears, you can feel the culture from the Tohoku region to the western region.
When I asked people in China, they told me that it is a flavor that is popular and loved regardless of the region.
By the way, this fennel and shepherd's purse both debuted about a month ago, and it's surprising that they've managed to break into the top ranks so quickly despite almost no advertising or POP. It sure looks delicious, with fennel in it.
5th place: Serina soup dumplings (water dumplings with celery)
Although it just debuted in the summer, this soup dumpling with celery has already ranked fifth. The richness of the pork and the refreshing aroma and texture of the celery go very well together.
Celery goes very well with Chinese cuisine, and this boiled dumpling proves its deliciousness in the gyoza skin.
4th place: Spicy dumplings
Shan cai, or boiled dumplings filled with cilantro.
Until about 20 years ago, cilantro was not liked by the majority of people in Japan (it is safe to say), but it has now gained citizenship. If you don't like cilantro, it's more noticeable these days. Although it just debuted in the summer, it quickly grew into a mainstay.
3rd place Sansen Sui Gyoza (Sui Gyoza with Shrimp)
It's hard to find someone who doesn't like this combination.
A wonderful dish with the harmony of pork and shrimp.
2nd Place: Laoshan Dongjia Local Flavor Fresh Meat Boiled Dumplings (Boiled Dumplings with Pork)
This is the most standard pork soup dumpling. The product name is intriguing, isn't it? Rō means ``long-established,'' ``traditional,'' and ``authentic.''
"Shandong" refers to Shandong Province, which is known as the hometown and authentic place of soup dumplings in China. ``Iago taste'' has the nuance of a local delicious taste.
This alone is tempting, but it also combines freshness with fresh meat. There's no way it wouldn't be delicious.
And the first place is...(drum roll please)
Chewy Sansen Sui Gyoza (Shrimp Sui Gyoza)
What's the difference with 3rd place? That's right.
This number one one uses tapioca starch in its skin, so it's literally chewy. There are some people who only like wheat flour, so I can't say which one is more delicious, but in terms of sales, this tapioca was the winner.
Vietnamese pho often has tapioca in it, and Thai kuit tiao only has rice flour, but which one you prefer is a matter of personal taste, and I think the same goes for boiled dumplings.
A delicious way to eat Chinese dumplings (boiled dumplings)
It's very easy to make and eat.
Drop frozen dumplings into boiling water and when they float to the surface, they are ready to eat.
The dipping sauce is basically black vinegar.
You can eat it deliciously with just black vinegar.
Of course, you can also have fun combining it with various sauces such as chili oil , rotten milk, nirajiang, shibama sauce, etc. if you like.
If you have never bought boiled gyoza at Taiyo Market, please refer to the above information and try the authentic boiled gyoza with delicious skin!
Enjoy piping hot authentic boiled dumplings at home!
