Mandu Dumplings

Mandu dumplings are a popular Korean dish filled with a savory mixture of meat and vegetables, wrapped in a thin dough and steamed or fried.

Ingredients

  • Water (1/4 cup)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Wonton wrappers (24)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Ginger (1 teaspoon, grated)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Green onions (2, finely chopped)
  • Cabbage (1 cup, finely chopped)
  • Ground pork (1/2 pound)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
  3. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the water to the skillet and cover. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
  6. Serve hot with soy sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
