김치만두 (Kimchi Mandu) is a popular Korean dumpling dish that is filled with a delicious mixture of kimchi, pork, and various seasonings. It is a beloved dish in Koryo-saram Cuisine, and is often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped kimchi
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 20 round dumpling wrappers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, ground pork, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, then fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the skillet.
- Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 5 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated and the bottoms of the dumplings are crispy.
- Transfer the cooked dumplings to a serving plate and serve with dipping sauce.
