Classic Korean mandu dumplings (만두)

vegetable oil

fish sauce

green onion

mandu skins (60 discs)

Directions

garlic

kosher salt

sugar

sesame oil

Make filling

Place 1 cup of ground pork and 2 cups of ground beef into a big bowl. Add 1 ts of kosher salt, 1 tbs of toasted sesame oil, ½ ts of ground pepper and mix it by hand and push the mixture of meat on the side of the bowl. Wash some Asian chives (buchu), and dry well with a paper towel or cotton cloth. Chop them into 2 cups’ worth of chives. Add 1 tbs of oil and mix it up. Place it in the big bowl next to the ground meat. (tip: the oil coats the vegetables so they retain their moisture) Chop 4-5 soaked shiitake mushrooms and half an onion. Put them into a small bowl. Add 1 ts of soy sauce, 1 ts of sugar, and 2 ts of toasted sesame oil to the small bowl. Mix by hand and transfer it to the big bowl. Squeeze a half package of tofu with a cotton cloth or paper towel and put it into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and 1 ts of toasted sesame oil. Mix it by hand and then put it next to chopped chives. In the big bowl, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and mix all ingredients by hand. This is your mandu filling.

Shape mandu

Put some of the filling mixture into the center of a mandu skin. Use your fingertips to apply a little cold water to one edge of the skin. This will act as a sealant when you fold it over. Fold skin in half over filling and press edges together to make ripple shape.

Fry mandu

Place some vegetable oil on heated pan and add the mandu you made. Lower the heat to low-medium and put the lid on the pan to cook. Turn over each mandu a few minutes later. Add 2-3 tbs of water and put the lid back on the pan. Cook a few minutes more over low heat. When the mandu is golden brown, transfer it to a plate. Serve hot with a dipping sauce made of equal parts vinegar and soy sauce.

Make mandu soup

In a pot, place 6 cups of water, 8 dried anchovies, the leftover shiitake mushroom stems, and the leftover onion. Boil it over medium heat for 20-30 minutes. If too much water evaporates, add more. When the stock is done, remove the anchovies and onion. Add 1 ts of fish sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and some of your mandu. Keep the lid on the pot. You can add some more salt if you want. When the mandu has cooked, it will float to the top. Add 1 beaten egg, 2 sliced green onions: Done! Serve hot with a bowl of kimchi, and ground pepper to taste.
