Kimchi
Mandu (Potstickers or Dumplings or Wonton?)
Ingredients: |
1 ½ cups of all- purpose flour, 1 tsp of salt, ground pork 4 oz, 2 cups of chopped kimchi (if you like you can use chopped Chinese scallion 3 oz to make plain mandu), finely crushed ½ tofu, 2 green onions, 1 egg, 1 tsp of sesame seed oil |
Directions: |
1.
Add salt and a little bit of water to make soft dough, and cover the dough with
wet cloth. (If you are afraid of making the dough, buy ready-made dumpling
wraps. They are sold in any Asian market.)
2.
Squeeze out water from chopped kimchi.
In a large bowl, add chopped kimchi, crushed tofu, chopped green onions,
ground pork, egg and mix well.
3. Flatten
dough to 1/8 inch thickness and use a bowl (about 4 inch circle) to cut
circular wraps.
(use the bowl like a cookie cutter, and if you have a better idea, use
it.) What you can do with mandu : make mandu soup(dumpling soup), fried mandu (Fried dumpling) or simply boil them in a pot and dip lightly into soy sauce.
