Ajinomoto Frozen Food – Japanese Ready-to-Heat Meals in a few minutes

11 January 2026 Gwendolyn

Kicking off the year with my first home-cooked meal using food products from Ajinomoto.

Cooking has never tasted this effortlessly delicious. With just some simple steps, a few minutes of your time, and no oil needed, the meal can be ready in no time.

Expect quality ingredients from Japan in Ajinomoto’s Ready-to-Heat food range.

Wait no further, get started with these items!

Hane Gyoza Pork $8.90

Japanese Pork & Prawn Shumai $9.90

Rice Burger Sukiyaki ($4.90, Don Don Donki exclusive)

Takana Fried Rice $9.90–$10.05

Hane Gyoza Pork $8.90

Made easy with Hane Gyoza Pork, you don’t have to be a pro to recreate the same juicy, restaurant-style bite, and that delicate layer of crispy ‘wing’ underneath.

WIth no oil and water needed, this is seriously easy to cook while keeping the kitchen tidy.

Simply arrange these gyoza in a circle on a pan, cover with a lid and cook at medium heat for around 6 minutes.

Japanese Pork & Prawn Shumai $9.90

A new addition to the Ajinomoto line-up is this Japanese Pork & Prawn Shumai. Slightly different from the Chinese style Shumai, this Japanese version features a thin white wrapper with Hokkaido pork and chunky prawn filling.

Microwave for about three minutes, and it’s ready to serve.

Rice Burger Sukiyaki ($4.90, Don Don Donki exclusive)

Another fuss-free meal is this Rice Burger Sukiyaki. Bite into pearly Japanese rice patties layered with sukiyaki beef and onion. It’s a sweet and savoury meal that can be enjoyed straight from the microwave.

Ready in just two minutes of heating.

Takana Fried Rice $9.90-$10.05

A comfort food for two, the Takana Fried Rice is packed with tangy mustard green, fried egg, and carrot cubes, finished with fragrant sesame oil. This is all the flavour your rice deserves.

Enjoy the fried rice in a few minutes – microwaved or pan-fried.
