"Thin Skin Craze" Pulmuone Foods Launches Two Types of 'Crispy Pop Mandu'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Pulmuone Foods announced on the 28th that it has launched two types of 'Crispy Pop Mandu'.

The new product, 'Crispy Pop Mandu', is a new concept dumpling introduced by Pulmuone, which set a new trend in the domestic frozen dumpling market in 2019 with its 'Thin Skin, Fully Stuffed Dumplings'.

Until now, the domestic frozen dumpling market has been mainly focused on steamed cooking, leading to a tendency for consumers to choose dumplings less frequently during the hot summer months. In contrast, 'Crispy Pop Mandu' can be easily cooked using the widely popular air fryer in Korean households, and its crispy and light texture makes it enjoyable all year round. Its small size, which fits in one bite, makes it a great snack or an appetizer for home drinking, suitable for the whole family to enjoy without burden.

'Crispy Pop Mandu Gogi Deumpuk' contains 24% domestically produced pork, and includes a mix of cabbage and pickled napa cabbage to enhance the chewing texture. 'Crispy Pop Mandu Taenggeul Saeu' uses shrimp that is not ground but cut once or twice into a convenient size for eating. The price for each is 8,480 won.

Pulmuone Foods explained, "The dumpling skin is made by blending glutinous rice flour and rice flour in an optimal golden ratio, so that when cooked in an air fryer, the crispiness extends to the edges of the wings," adding, "The mini size (9g), similar to a bite-sized boiled dumpling, allows you to complete crispy pop mandu in a short cooking time."
