This is the Bibigo Mandu Prawn & Chive Dumplings, containing 27.5% dumpling wrapper, 19.6% prawn, and 8.3% chives.
Preparation involved adding one tablespoon (10 g) of cooking oil directly into the bag of frozen mandu. The bag was then shaken thoroughly to ensure the oil evenly coated the surface of the dumplings. They were cooked in a preheated air fryer at 190°C for 15–16 minutes.
Once cooked, the dumplings developed a blistered, crisp exterior, while the interior remained juicy. The filling contained visible pieces of shrimp, vermicelli, and chives, bound together with a yellow paste that resembled egg in texture, though it was not egg-based. The prawns were sweet with a firm texture, while the chives added a fragrant, herbal freshness that brightened the mild sweetness of the onion. The overall flavour leaned firmly savoury, with good balance and depth.
A satisfying product, and one worth repurchasing.
