Instructions

Mandu Filling

  1. Combine the ground pork, kimchi, tofu, mung bean sprouts, onion, garlic chives, egg, garlic, salt, ground white pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly. Set aside.

To Make Mandu

  1. To assemble the mandu, place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Dab a little water around the edge of the wrapper with your finger. Fold and pleat the mandu, creating 2 pleats, then pinch the edges together to seal the filling tightly. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.

Pan Fry Mandu

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Place the mandu in the pan and add a small amount of water. Cover the pan and let the mandu simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the water evaporates and the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Turn off the heat and transfer the mandu to a plate. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped green onion and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan to cook the pan-frying mandu for the ideal result. It helps prevent sticking and allows for even browning.
  • For the filling, you may always substitute the ground pork with ground chicken, beef, or shrimp. 
  • Do not overstuff the filling when assembling the mandu. It helps to prevent the filling from splitting out while cooking.
