Mandu are traditional Korean dumplings made from thin wheat flour wrappers filled with various ingredients. They are structurally similar to Italian ravioli or Polish pierogi, but Korean Mandu are characterised by thinner wrappers and a lighter, vegetable-forward filling. This product uses chicken thigh meat, coriander, a variety of vegetables (onion, napa cabbage, shiitake mushroom, garlic chives) and tofu as filling, with the fresh aromatic flavour of coriander (cilantro) as a highlight. Jjin Mandu — steamed dumplings — are prepared without oil, resulting in a moist and tender texture.

This product contains gluten (wheat) and soya (soy sauce, tofu) from the EU 14 mandatory allergens. It also contains pork gelatin, making it unsuitable for those who avoid pork. ⚠️ Important notice: Depending on the distribution label, sesame allergen labelling may vary. If you have a sesame allergy, please check the physical packaging label of the product you have purchased. This product is not recommended for those with gluten or soya allergies.

No. This product is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets, as it contains chicken thigh meat and chicken extract. It also contains pork gelatin and therefore does not hold halal or kosher certification, making it unsuitable for diets that exclude pork. Additionally, this product contains Makgeolli (a traditional Korean rice wine) as a minor ingredient, so caution is advised for those who need to avoid alcohol entirely.

No thawing is required — cook directly from frozen. There are three main cooking methods: ① Steamer (recommended): Place Mandu in a single layer in a steamer over boiling water, cover with a lid and steam for approximately 10–12 minutes. ② Microwave: Place Mandu in a microwave-safe container, sprinkle with a little water, cover and heat at 700W for 4–5 minutes. ③ Boiling: Drop Mandu directly into boiling water or broth and cook for 8–10 minutes. They are fully cooked when they float to the surface and the wrappers become translucent. You can also pan-fry them in a little oil for a crispy Gun Mandu style.
