Korean Dumpling (Mandoo)
Korean dumplings, known as mandoo or mandu, are a traditional,
easy-to-make traditional food that can be prepared in large quantities in
advance and stored in the freezer for future use.
These little dumplings are stuffed with a
mixture of meat and/or vegetables and can be deep-fried, boiled, pan-fried or
baked in the oven. In fact, there are almost as many variations of mandoo as
there are cooks in Korea.
Mandoo is often prepared by families as part
of Korean Lunar New Year festivities
and is considered a symbol of good luck for the coming year.
Ingredients
- 1
pound lean ground beef or pork
- 1
onion, finely chopped
- 1
cup finely chopped cabbage (about 1/2 of a small cabbage head), parboiled
- 1/2
cup tofu (1 cake), chopped
- 4
ounces mung bean noodles or sweet potato
noodles, soaked and then chopped
- 3
cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1
tablespoon sesame oil
- 2
tablespoons soy sauce
- 1
teaspoon salt
- 1
teaspoon pepper
- 1
package circular mandoo wrappers (or Japanese gyozaor Chinese wonton wrappers)
Steps to Make It
1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef or ground pork,
onion, cabbage, tofu and noodles.
3. Pour seasoning mixture over meat and vegetables and mix with hands to
combine.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of dumpling wrapper.
5. Dip your finger in water and wet the perimeter of half of the wrapper.
6. Fold the wrapper in half, pressing to seal and then crimp the edges.
7. Repeat until the filling is gone.
8. You can steam, boil, fry, or sauté the dumplings as you wish.
Note: If you have extra dumpling wrappers, you can just cut them into slices
and use them to make noodle soup.
·
If you want to prepare a lot of dumplings in
advance, steam the dumplings, wait for them to cool, and then freeze them on a
parchment-lined tray. When fully frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag for
longer storage.
·
You can then use them anytime straight from
the freezer without defrosting, whether you want to fry, sauté, steam, or use
them in soup.
·
Korean dumplings are traditionally made with
a beef or pork filling, but chicken and vegetarian dumplings also are
popular.
·
Mandoo can be added to soup made with beef
broth or anchovy broth (mandu guk) that also can be
served with a traditional cylindrical rice cake (tteok manu guk).
·
Versatile and delicious, mandoo are
substantial enough for a main dish but also are good as snack/appetizer
dishes or a mess-free lunch.
