Best 2 Korean Mandu Egg Roll Recipes

KOREAN MANDU (EGG ROLL)

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cabbage, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer meat mixture to a large bowl, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
• Mix cabbage, bean sprouts, celery, green onion, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and pepper into meat mixture. Spoon mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Spread beaten egg onto 2 edges of each wrapper and fold wrapper around filling, sealing edges together.
• Fry wontons in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

YAKI-MANDU (KOREAN EGG ROLL)

Steps:

• Keep the ground beef in the fridge until you are done preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix ingredients in large bowl (it's best to use your hands like preparing a meatloaf).
• Scoop some of the mixture into a smaller bowl and keep the rest in the fridge until you are ready for it (wrapping is time consuming and you don't want the meat to be out any longer than it needs to be).
• Mix a raw egg in a small bowl or cup, or use a small bowl of water.
• Place a "sheet" of the egg roll wrap on work surface in front of you then spoon a teaspoonful of meat mixture into the center of the wrapper, dip finger into egg to spread it onto two adjoining edges of the wrapper and fold in half diagonally to seal it (will look like triangle).
• Press edges together and gently hold egg roll in hand and carefully squeeze out excess air as you are sealing.
• Deep fry until golden brown (for healthier method, steam/pan fry with less oil).
• Dipping sauce: Mix soy cause, red pepper and sesame seeds.
