NEW YORK, June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Daesang America, Incorporation's global brand, O'Food, is a provider of traditional condiments to ready-to-serve meals, will be exhibiting at the Speciality Food Association's annual Summer Fancy Food Show. The company will be launching their first frozen food offering, Mandu, at the event which takes place June 12 through June 14 at Javits Center in New York City.
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. 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.
"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.
Packed with Korean-inspired flavors, these dumpling provide an answer to a void in the freezer aisle - hearty, satisfying meals that consumers can feel good about enjoying. O'Food dumplings offer 10 or more grams of protein, delivering meals bursting with flavor.
Korean-inspired ready meals continue to make a culinary impact on consumers. People are making an active choice to discover new flavors and incorporate more plant-based meals into their diets, while occasionally eating meat. Mandu products are available across the country in select stores including Associated Supermarkets, Jungle Jims and many more. They are the perfect option for consumers looking for convenient and meat-free options from a brand they know and trust.
