Kimchi Mandu

I made my first Mandu (dumplings in Korean) around a year ago when I just started blogging. Last week I made mandu again, but this time with some chopped kimchi, as I also wanted to consume my homemade kimchi in another way than just as a side dish.

You can make your own dumpling wrappers with just flour and warm water (look at my guo tie recipe), but if you've got no time to spare, ready-made dumpling wrappers can be such a timesaver!

I shaped my dumplings in 3 different ways. Which shape do you like best?

I used Maangchi's recipe this time to make the basic mandu. But I added some chopped kimchi to add some extra kimchi-kick ;).

Ingredients (makes 80)

• 1 cup ground pork
  
• 2 cups ground beef
• 2 cups chopped chives
• 4-5 soaked and chopped Shiitake mushrooms
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1/2 tofu, chopped
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• 1/2 tbs sugar
• 2 tbs oyster sauce
• 1 tbs fish sauce
• 1 tbs sesame oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cups chopped kimchi
• Mandu skins

Pan-fry your kimchi mandu and serve with kimchi and salad.

This is my favourite way of eating kimchi mandu! I let my mandu float and swim on top of kimchi sauce :).
