Utilizing Tofu Made from Jangdan Beans, a Specialty of Paju, to Promote Win-Win Cooperation with Local Farmers
[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Ottogi announced on the 30th that it has launched the renewed ‘X.O. Jangdankong Mulmandu,’ an updated version of the existing 'X.O. Mulmandu.'
This renewal involved changing the tofu in the dumpling filling to Jangdankong tofu, symbolizing a win-win relationship with local farms. Attention was drawn to the fact that Jangdankong, a specialty product of Paju, is cultivated in an environment suitable for soybean growth, such as well-drained soil and a cool climate. By using Jangdankong tofu, the flavor and nutrition have been enhanced.
The newly introduced X.O. Jangdankong Mulmandu features tofu made from Jangdankong, domestic pork, cabbage, onion, garlic chives, and green onion, creating a mild and clean taste. Additionally, the ‘Yusu Vacuum Kneading Method’ is applied to make the dumpling skin in a vacuum state, resulting in a softer and more moist dumpling skin. The large size, filled with juicy meat, pairs well with manduguk (dumpling soup), mandu jeongol (dumpling hot pot), as well as various dishes like ramen and tteokbokki, and can also be enjoyed crispy when cooked in an air fryer.
An Ottogi representative said, “We launched the X.O. Jangdankong Mulmandu using Paju Jangdankong to promote the excellence of our agricultural products and foster a win-win relationship with local farms,” adding, “We will continue to introduce products using outstanding domestic ingredients in terms of taste, nutrition, and quality.”
