Don't forget to get this video to 10,000 LIKES for Trader Joe's PART 2! Comment below your favorite TJ's Asian Food so I can try them :)
Love the vid!! Your positive energy is so lovely! 💕You should’ve tried the mini Thai tea mochi, it’s my personal fav!!!
Microwaved naan??? You savage. 😆
You weren't kidding about the garlic naan. I bought one bag for work and one for the house. I think I could eat 10 bags and never get tired of it
TJ's garlic naan is so good! My fav quick way to heat it is to let a pat of butter come to a sizzle in a frying pan, then add the naan. By the time it's toasty on both sides, it will have absorbed the butter. 😋
I cook the Orange chicken in a pan, get them very crispy and then add the sauce and cook till it’s sticky. We love it
Yessss, way better pan fried!
Yessss that’s how I make it, so good
Definitely do a part 2! Tip if you get the orange chicken again I usually air fry the chicken and I use a sweet chili sauce instead of the sauce the bag provides lookout for the Korean ribs they are amazing 👏🏽
yess can’t wait i live 4 minutes away from trader joe’s and this was much needed!! the ice cream mochi is the best!! 💕
omggg always love having a tj's close!!! they have the best stuff ❤️
Ah yes trader Joe's is just over the Pacific Ocean for me
I really enjoy the Paneer Tikka and chicken samosas. Their chicken soup dumplings are pretty bomb too! As far as the mochi goes, I enjoy them a lot, and if you let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, it melts just a tiny bit so you get the creamy ice cream feel and the outer skin is chewy too.
I find this sooo interesting cause where I live in the UK we have only just started getting more authentic Asian food.
So jealous the options you have xxx
For people who can't handle spicy tteokbokki, try using coconut milk instead of the water 😊
That might help to cut through the sweetness too
@@Mandapanda. I don’t think so, coconut milk can lend a sweetness on its own, even the canned variety is somewhat naturally sweet!
If you do another, I'd love to hear what you think of their Taiwanese green onion pancakes!
For the Gyoza which are my favorites I rinse them in water and drain them then microwave them. No hard parts. And I eat them with ponzu sauce and chili oil with extra szechuan peppercorn.
I’m obsessed with these videos 🥰 Can’t wait to watch!!
aw thank you so much!!!! hope u enjoy the video :) ❤️
We like the orange chicken in the air fryer and serve over TJs veggie fried rice. The garlic naan is the bomb!
meimei, Ive been waiting for this, lol ive wanted the ice cream mochi for 3 days. also strawbery is my favorite :) edit also happy aaph month i celebrate. also are you planning on doing clothing merch? also also random thing are you a harry styles fan? also also congrats on 588k i know youll reach 1 million one day 💖💖
she’s already at 594k and you wrote that comment 3 days ago!
Pat the naan all over with wet hands and then into the air fryer! It comes out chewy but the outside tastes fresh baked. I LOVE them.
Great tip!
U should do a what I eat in a week video meimei! I’d totally watch your regular at home meals and get a peak into ur life! Love ur vids!
I'm so glad you got the orange chicken cause i got 3 bags of them and still not sure if i'll like them, but they look super simple to make, and i've been craving orange chicken! they're the perfect size too.... i'll have to steam the bows next time they're my go to, and I get a tun of them because they tend to sell out alot of the time
they are good, I get 8 bags
@@Skater21Loverboyz woah I might have found my new favorite thing. I'm working on the tater tots mom got me last week at the local grocery store next time they're going in the oven for longer
The Thai vegetable gyoza does have pan fry instructions 😊
my favorite mochi's are the mango and Thai tea! theyre a lot smaller so it helps me ration them out too 😆
The vegetable gyoza does provide pan fry instructions - they're in the middle column of the bag description at 15:33
And they’re way better pan fried!
Steam and/or pan fry...very good w some some Organic Japanese Shoyu Ohashi Brand.
You should totally get some Trader Joe Cookies! I really love the honey butter shrimp! I personally called it Golden Shrimps.
Let’s hope Part 2 happens soon! 🥰🥰
My mom made rhe orange chicken on the stove! It was the perfect thing to have for lunch after dance class and it was SO yummy! 😋😋😋
You have to wait for the mochi to thaw for 5 or so minutes!! they are so good and soft afterwards
I wasn’t a fan of the Trader Joe’s orange chicken. Costco’s orange chicken tempura is much better. I liked the Thai mochi flavor the best. Mango not so good. You should try Trader Joe’s Korean style beef short ribs and kung pao chicken.
All bow to the boba queen 🍄🐚🌸🌼💐
Trader Joe's ice cream mochi was my introduction to mochi. The brand you showed is what I remember buying.
The butter chicken is my favorite foods! I’m glad you love it too! We like so many same desserts and foods! ♥️♥️♥️
Hello we call egg rolls Shanghai here in Philippines we also call it Lumpia. Lumpia is full of vegetables inside while Shanghai is ground meat and some vegetables in it. I personally like Shanghai more our favourite food to eat in any celebration!!
Omg you have to try the broccoli beef! That's my favorite! The Lamb Vindaloo is amazing. I have the Tteokbokki in my freezer and hope to taste it soon.
TJs garlic naan is perfect for quick pizza in the air fryer. Just add sauce, pepperoni and mozz from trader joes
i love the green tea mochi ice cream from Trader Joe’s :))) (it tastes better when you let it defrost for 6-7 minutes, it’s so much softer)
I have an obsession to those veggie samosas. I put them in the air fryer and get them really crispy and I can finish off a whole box in a few minutes. I always gotta get 2 boxes
Trader joes Asian foods are actually so slept on! Very good video :)
Hi Mei Mei! I love the lamb vindaloo too 🥰 so good!
trader joes ube mochi is the best, it only comes around during the summer. so its soon!
The Thai tea mochi ice creams are pretty good!! They are minis and I feel the texture of the mochi is better too! 😊
The chicken tikka masala and shrimp tempera are good too!
Pro tip: microwaving items made with flour results in the glutens in the flour being overworked and made rubbery. The wet paper towel wrap works a little, but you really need to steam to get the right result. One thing you can do is put a small bowl of water in the microwave next to the item. That plus the wrapping the item in damp cloth should do it.
The spicy instant noodles from Trader Joe’s are surprisingly pretty good!
It was my birthday today and i got the Boba Straw!!! I'm so excited to use it, I'm having boba tonight and I'm so excited to use it, I've been wanting them since January and soo happy I got them!
i love that ZINDREW too got it at 626 night market :) the owners are so cool
THE BANH BAOS THERE R SO GOOD I LOVE IT
can you plz try vegan options in your videos it would be so amazing if you can please love you videos they are always making me hungry :)
For part 2: try the kalbi short ribs
What got me into your channel was not just that youre trying the foods but that you read the instructions and show us the play by play too. Feels like you really follow how they say to do it (i.e. how the average person would do it) and it seems like a more authentic review.
From NJ, we called the fried fatter
Rolls with thick wrapper egg rolls. The thin skinny fried rolls spring rolls. And the fresh raw rolls summer rolls .!
Aw they had the pan fry method to the left of the microwave instructions for the Thai gyoza 😅
Yessssss!! Another one of meimei's video to cure my depression, always love ur vids ❤
Yum! My favorite is their soup dumplings.
omg yes definitely will need to do those in part 2 if we do one!!
Kung Pao Chicken. Delicious. I add a bundle of chopped fresh broccoli towards the end of the meat cooking phase for more vegetable and to take up some of the sauce, otherwise it's too saucy/salty. IMHO.
I call them spring roles in my country denmark its called “forårs ruller”
So excited to watch this!! Love Trader Joe's so this will be such a great help!
yay!!! hope u enjoy the video hehe :) ❤️
Thanks for sharing. Next time in TJ will definitely pick up some to try.
as a pakistani who’s uncle makes fresh naan a LOT, the trader joe’s garlic naan is absolutely delicious!!!! not as good as authentic naan, but still so yummy
I love the green tea mochi 🤗
re the spring roll thing, I always called them spring rolls when they’re fried because that’s what they’re called in asia (vietnam where I had them all the time) and fresh spring rolls when they’re not fried
i just started watching you but i already love all ur videos!!
aw thank you so much!! appreciate you :)
Hey, I was just at Trader Joe's yesterday 5/20/22 and the frozen food Butter Chicken was on recall. I forgot for what tho...
The butter tikka masala is my fave!
OMG I discovered the Zindrew chili oil at the NorCal/626 night market last year. We of course opted for x-batch too lol! Downside to living at home is that the mother burned through it faster than I would’ve preferred. Then she holds up the empty jar and asks me to buy more. The AUDACITY lmao. I was like ok it’s $18 online and she was like 😱. I was STOKED to see they were back this year at the night market this past weekend selling it at 3 8oz jars for $36. You bet your ass I bought three for myself this time lol. Always better to buy it straight from the source, anyway. I hear 626 will be back in July, so more chances to get hot sauce from them if you’re in the Bay 🔥
For TJs part 2- UBE products! I just picked up ube tea cookies at the Milpitas location a couple days ago. Also, highly recommend the Japanese fried rice with the seaweed and edamame. Annnnnd they make a ghost pepper chili oil now. I picked a jar up maybe a month ago at the SJ Coleman location and the spice level is similar to x-batch I think.
First, we finally got a membership so I am hitting up that store with this vid in mind! Second, where did you get that cute magnetic(?) kitchen organizer on your fridge? Don't say Costco lol.
Oh third. We finally tried QQ Noodle from your South Bay video. Garlic noodles were worth the drive!
hi boba bestie! thanks for the new content 🤗💗
HI BOBA BESTIEEE of course!!! hope u enjoy the video ❤️❤️❤️
for mochi my fav is vanilla, green tea, or the Thai tea ones!
I was the biggest fan of the TJ cheesesteak bao buns BUT I love their pork bao buns
the scallion pancakes are bOMB!!!
my bf & I really liked their fish korma! I don't think it's traditional flavors and it's not the flavor I associate with korma in general, but still very tasty haha
If you get a chance you should go to Australia, Melbourne to try food. You could have your mum come and react to food too (the prices are different)
My favorite Trader Joe’s mochi is the mango mochi!!
We get these massive samosas that are like the size of your palm and are still crispy cause they're got a slightly thicker dough. They're sooo gooood!! You're making me so jealous that I don't have any of these shops in South Africa
The Thai tea mochi is my absolute favorite! I get it every time I go
Next time you get the naan bread.. you have to get the garlic dip too🔥🔥🔥
Mei! Did you Baskin Robbins has a Brown Sugar Boba drink!
love your videos!! i just started watching your content and i am obsessed!! after every boba video i watched with you, i would always go get boba to drink ahhh
haha aw omg I love that!!! thank you so much for watching, appreciate you :) ❤️
IMO, the honey walnut shrimp tastes like cheese to me. I dont know if i got a bad bag, but i genuinely could not finish after a few pieces. love these videos!!
I didn’t like it either.
Another Indian food you should try from TJ is the malabari paratha. It is super flaky and it goes with so many Indian curries. Sometimes we get tried of the stone fire naans from Costco so we get this paratha from TJ and ofc the garlic naan as well.
The content that everybody (except my wallet) needs!
Their reg pork bao are way better than the Philly cheese steak baos, Imo. The latter just has an overpowering bell pepper flavor n I agree about the filling being too mushy. We also really enjoy their Bool kogi (meat dept) delicious and their kimchi which it's a little more mild, less spicy, but the flavor is great. We love those 2 together with steamed rice.
You should start an asian food asmr 😂
LOL omggg 😂😂😂
Everytime she takes a bite is like asmar
Definitely try steamed pork ginger soup dumplings 🥟 I would grab 6 everytime😂😂
Love the beef and broccoli along with sesame chicken from TJ
oh, meimei! you can put the garlic naan in a cast iron pan it makes a better char on it!
omg these are the moments i'm sad i don't have a cast iron 😭
@@feedmeimei Yess lol
Perfect vid 😌
I was impressed by there japchae !
Spring rolls are smaller with thin crunchy skin and egg roles are much larger with a thick chewy skin.
Plate the frozen Indian meals, trust me! pour that rice and deliciousness into a bowl. it will taste 10x bette!!!!
Very helpful video and I will be going to Trader Joe's tomorrow to buy orange chicken and egg rolls, thanks!
yes please do a part 2 regardless if you hit 10k like or not as there are so many other Asian food from TJ's that you left out of the video like those Taiwanese Green Onion Pancakes the Korean Green Scallion Pancakes, their Ube Mochi Pancake Mix, their xia long baos & many others
Bird in the end 🤣🤣
Which Trader Joe’s in the bay did u go to? I feel like I’ve never seen the Tteokbokki at my TJs
Yessss the trader Joe video I’ve been waiting
aw thank you so much :) ❤️
Love Asian food I love your videos
@@feedmeimei 💕
There’s three different Bulgogi at Trader Joe’s. You can buy the whole piece of meat like a 3 pound piece and throw it on the grill that’s delicious then they have it in the frozen box where it’s just the Bulgogi meat that’s delicious and then the third option is the bag with the rice. I won’t buy the Bulgogi with the rice option ever again.
for me: 8:21 tteokbokki
They are egg rolls. Not spring tools. People think spring rolls are healthier, so it is a marketing scheme. Love your content, keep up the great work!
If possible, could you try some of the TJ Asian bottled sauces? I’ve always been curious about them. Thank you! Love your videos!
The lamb vindaloo for me at m6 Trader Joe’s is rlly dry and chewy idk how it’s really good at yours
Where you get your microwave?
Love you meimei 💗
LOVE U!! ❤️❤️❤️
I think the difference between egg roll and spring roll is the wrapper
This is interesting from the perspective of someone that’s never been to a Trader Joe’s
