North Korean Mandu

Ingredients

• Water (1/2 cup)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Mandu wrappers (30 pieces)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Ginger (1 teaspoon, grated)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Green onions (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
• Napa cabbage (1 cup, finely chopped)
• Ground pork (1 pound)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a mandu wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
3. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges together to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mandu and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the mandu are cooked through and the water has evaporated.
6. Serve the North Korean Mandu hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
