Annie Chun's Mini Wontons are fully cooked, frozen, microwavable and easy to make in a matter of minutes. The tiny dumplings can be found in four Asian-inspired flavors (Spicy Vegetable; Pork & Ginger; Chicken & Garlic; and Chicken & Cilantro) that can be enjoyed as snacks, appetizers, side dishes or even additions to hot and savory soups. These mini dumplings are not only versatile in the way that they can be served but also the way they can be prepared, since they can be warmed in a frying pan or pot depending on the level of crispiness desired.
The company that offers the Annie Chun's brand reports that "one in three consumers say Asian food is what they crave and have missed most from restaurants during disruptions of the pandemic" and the retail Asian food category is growing with the demand for global flavors.
