Daesang America brand O’Food has launched its first frozen food offering, Mandu, at the Summer Fancy Food Show.
Mandu are classic Korean dumplings that are steamed, boiled or pan-fried. The Mandu products are made with thin wrappers and filled with traditional Korean ingredients. According to a press release, O’Food is releasing two different types, Kimchi and Plant-Based Mandu. The Kimchi Mandu starts with the global leading kimchi from sister brand Jongga. Combined with a perfect blend of spicy heat, sweet and savory meat, and assorted vegetables, the Kimchi Mandu will satisfy any meat-lovers appetite. Try the meatless Plant-Based Mandu available in Gochujang, sweet and spicy fermented condiment popular in Korean cooking or opt for the savory flavors of K-BBQ. O’Food dumplings offer 10 or more grams of protein, delivering meals bursting with flavor.
“In recent years, consumers are increasingly seeking food adventures, particularly ethnic foods that have for years received less recognition in the US, such as Korean foods; Gochujang, Kimchi, and others. Mandu are these fantastic Korean style dumplings and now is a great time to bring them to market with these same authentic flavors” said Brian Tompkins, vice president of Sales.
