Leading the Chinese Food Market in America! ANKO’s Comprehensive Support for Efficient Dumpling Production
This client is a third-generation Chinese American who inherited his grandfather's wholesale food business in the United States. A few years ago, his company had to adjust to accommodate the changes in the overall marketplace and focused on producing and distributing Chinese cuisines. After thorough market research, the client purchased ANKO's HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine to make authentic Chinese Dumplings. After nearly a year of market testing, which showed promising sales, the client further invested in the ER-24 Automatic Egg Roll Production Line and AF-589 Conveyor Fryer a year later. ANKO's high-quality and durable food machinery has successfully helped clients excel in authentic Chinese food production and become leaders in the market.

Solution 1. ANKO Machine with the Precise Recipe Adjustments Produce the Perfect Dumplings for our Clients
After the Dumplings are made, they undergo cooking, freezing, and deep-frying processes. If the proportion of water in the dough is not well controlled, the wrappers will crack during the final frying process, resulting in a poor appearance of the finished product. ANKO tried two dough recipes; the first used tapioca starch and 41% water; the dough had poor elasticity, yet the HLT-700U multipurpose filling and forming machine can still make Dumplings with this recipe. The second recipe used bread (high gluten) flour and 40% water; the dough was too soft. Finally, ANKO’s experienced professional team considered the local temperature and humidity and adjusted the recipe. The new dough recipe made the perfect Dumplings, with product weight within the expected range. The Dumplings also maintained their intact appearance after various cooking steps.

Solution 2. Comprehensive Technical Support Assisting Clients Develop New Products
This client envisioned expanding their product line from Fried Dumplings to creating new Pork Dumplings and Vegetable Dumplings. After successfully producing the Fried Dumpling, the client needed help making new products with their recipes. The ANKO Food Tech USA team went to this client’s factory and identified critical steps that were lacking in filling preparation. Because the client wanted to make Dumplings with an all-vegetable filling, the HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine would require additional adjustments on the Filling Screw and Rotor to… (Contact ANKO for detailed information)

- Food Culture
Chinese immigration to the United States began in significant numbers during the mid-19th century and with this influx diverse culinary traditions were introduced. Dumplings are particularly iconic and have become a hallmark of Chinese cuisine. There are various ways to cook and enjoy Dumplings: either boiled, pan-fried (known as Gyoza or Potstickers), steamed, or even deep-fried. Chinese restaurants and fast-food chains in the United States usually offer Dumplings. Many Asian supermarkets, specialty stores, and wholesale food stores also have frozen Dumplings in stock in their freezers. Typical fillings include cabbage, chives, and corn mixed with ground pork, chicken, or shrimp. Innovative flavors, such as XO sauce, scallops, and spicy Sichuan-style fillings, have gained popularity, and some brands have also introduced unique dipping sauces for a customizable dining experience.
Many brands emphasize food safety and quality to build consumer trust and stand out among numerous Dumpling brands. For example, the packaging often highlights Dumplings that are "Made in the USA" or labeled with "No MSG Added," "Plant-Based," "All Natural," or even "USDA Organic." This branding appeals to health-conscious consumers. The rise of social media has also played a significant role in increasing dumpling consumption. Influencers sharing creative ways to enjoy dumplings are attracting younger consumers in the U.S. marketplace.- Handmade Recipe
