Dongwon F&B Introduces "Cantonese Shrimp Wonton" and "Sichuan Beef Wonton"
Dim Sum Market on the Rise... Dongwon Leads the Industry

Dongwon F&B announced on April 22 that it has launched two new types of dim sum wonton designed to be enjoyed with broth.


Unlike steamed dim sum varieties such as shrimp har gow or xiaolongbao, these two dim sum wonton products are characterized by being served with broth (or sauce). The new offerings include "Dim Sum Cantonese Shrimp Wonton" and "Dim Sum Sichuan Beef Wonton." Wonton is a classic Chinese dish consisting of small dumplings with thin wrappers, typically eaten in broth.

The "Cantonese Shrimp Wonton" contains 17% shrimp, emphasizing a firm and bouncy texture, and features a light broth made with chicken stock. The "Sichuan Beef Wonton" increases the meat content to 40% by blending beef and pork, and is intended to be mixed with a spicy Sichuan-style sauce.


Dongwon F&B plans to strengthen its competitiveness in the growing domestic dim sum market with these two new wonton products. According to NielsenIQ Korea, the domestic frozen dim sum market expanded from 17.8 billion won in 2023 to 26.6 billion won last year.


Dongwon F&B has maintained the No. 1 market share since it first introduced frozen dim sum products in the industry in 2020. The company's dim sum highlights chewy dumpling wrappers made by kneading starch in boiling water and generously filled ingredients. As of the end of last year, cumulative sales had reached approximately 300 million pieces (based on individual units).



A Dongwon F&B representative said, "We planned these two wonton products to expand frozen dim sum, which is mainly consumed as a snack, into a convenient meal replacement option," adding, "We will continue to introduce a variety of dim sum products that deliver authentic flavors through ongoing research and development."
