The $9 ALDI item people can’t get enough of

If there’s one thing we’ve been doing a lot more of in lockdown, it’s eating to our heart’s content, and if you’re feeling the same way, then you’ll definitely want to keep reading about these gems from ALDI.

Called everything from “superb” to “the best” and even “COVID lockdown survival food”, ALDI’s $9 pack of gyoza have been a huge hit with shoppers.

While the snack isn’t a new addition to the store’s offerings, a post on Facebook has brought together people who can’t live without it, as they swapped notes on the best way to cook them.

It’s not a surprise they’re winners with foodies, as they come in at just $9 for 26 gyozas.

“I think I’ve bought a million of these. My son loves them covid lockdown survival food,” one person wrote. 
Someone else said that they are “value for money” and simply “delicious”.

Others revealed the best way to cook the gyoza to get the most flavour out of them.

One said to pop them in the microwave while another said to pan fry them with sesame oil and ¼ cup of water.

“First you have to pan fry them on the two flat sides, so they get some colour and brown a little. After this you put a small amount, around 1/2-1/3 cup of water to soften them and cover with a lid. Then take the lid off, and when all the water has dissolved then it is ready,” another person wrote.
