Instructions
Dough
- Combine flour and salt. Add the oil, then add the water little by little and form a homogeneous dough that is not too soft. Do not add more water than necessary.
- Let the dough rest for at least 45 minutes, covered with a cloth, in a dry place.
- Generously flour the dough.
- Roll it through the pasta maker to make very thin strips that will be cut with a round cookie cutter.
Filling
- In a bowl, generously sprinkle the cabbage with salt and set aside for 30 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add the mung bean sprouts and blanch for 3 minutes.
- Drain, let cool, and finely chop in a bowl. Set aside.
- Drain and wring out as much water as possible from the cabbage, by hand.
- Transfer to a large bowl and mix.
- Prepare all the remaining ingredients and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
- Mix well by hand and form a paste.
- Filling of the mandu
- Operate on a smooth, dry and floured work surface.
- Place a full teaspoon of the filling on a disc of dough.
- Wet the edges with water and close tightly, pushing the air with your fingers, in the shape of a half moon.
- Repeat this process until the discs of dough are all used up.
