Pulmuone Foods said on the 2nd it has released a premium kimchi dumpling, Saengmandu Gat-kimchi, that captures the sharp, peppery flavor of Yeosu Dolsan mustard leaf. The move expands the Saengmandu lineup.
Saengmandu focuses on the dumpling's original taste with the texture of the filling and moist wrapper. After its launch in Sep. last year, cumulative sales surpassed 1 million units in three months. Pulmuone said it has quickly secured a foothold in the premium frozen dumpling market.
The newly released Saengmandu Gat-kimchi uses gat-kimchi made with 100% Yeosu Dolsan mustard leaf—known for its clean, refreshing taste and aroma—as a key dumpling filling ingredient. Using Pulmuone's proprietary instant steam method, the wrapper is cooked lightly and kept moist while the filling stays fresh, delivering just-made freshness.
A Pulmuone Foods official said, "This year, we will showcase a wider variety of Saengmandu among Pulmuone frozen dumplings and focus on developing it to spread the value of premium frozen dumplings more widely."
