About us
Ling Ling potstickers were created in 1986 by Clarence Mou and family, founders of Discovery Foods. Their entrepreneurial drive and passion for food has made Ling Ling the number one brand of fresh-frozen potstickers in the United States today.
Clarence and his family emigrated from Taipei, Taiwan to settle in South San Francisco in 1972. As with many immigrants, the restaurant business provided an opportunity to achieve the American dream.
In the early 1980s, the Mou Family began selling their handmade potstickers at their Countrywood Dim Sum restaurant in Walnut Creek, California. When customers began asking for larger quantities of potstickers to cook at home, Clarence saw an emerging niche market — fresh, tasty potstickers for everyday meals. While attending UC Berkeley, Clarence developed a business plan, and in 1986, Discovery Foods was born.
Clarence and his hard-working team built the business by expanding its product line to include egg rolls, spring rolls and shu mai. The products are sold in warehouse club stores and supermarket chains.
In addition to Ling Ling appetizers, Discovery Foods produces Tai Pei Asian entrées and appetizers, and VIP frozen vegetables and fruit.
