Time 45m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying
½ cup finely chopped green onions
½ cup finely chopped cabbage
½ cup finely chopped carrot
½ cup minced garlic
4 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'cent®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  • Mix green onions, cabbage, carrot, garlic, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, monosodium glutamate, salt, and pepper into ground beef mixture; cook and stir until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer beef mixture to a bowl and mix in 1 egg.
  • Crack the second egg into a bowl and beat well.
  • Hold 1 wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and brush a thin layer of beaten egg on 1 edge. Scoop about 1 teaspoon beef mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold wrapper in half, corner to corner, to make a triangle and pinch the edges shut, crimping with your fingers to make a seal. Press the air out by cupping your fingers over the dumpling in your palm and pressing lightly.
  • Fry wontons in the hot oil until 1 side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain using a slotted spoon.
  • Whisk soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds together in a bowl until dipping sauce is smooth. Serve alongside wontons.

Mandu (Korean Dumplings) image

Mandu are classic Korean dumplings filled with ground pork, tofu, garlic chives, and ginger. Steamed, deep fried, pan fried, boiled, or added to soups, there are so many ways to enjoy them!

Provided by Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee

Categories     Side Dish     Dinner

Time 1h36m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 25

For the filling
8 ounces medium-firm tofu
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces ground beef
2 cups buchu (Korean garlic chives), finely chopped
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 large egg
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white or black pepper
For the mandu
Flour, for sprinkling
1 package (50 to 60 wrappers) store-bought or homemade mandu wrappers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for pan frying
For the dipping sauce
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), optional

Steps:

  • Prepare to assemble the Mandu: Sprinkle a large tray or sheet pan with a little flour. This will prevent the Mandu from sticking. Fill a small bowl with water, which will be used to seal the Mandu wrapper.
  • Cook the Mandu: To pan fry the Mandu , heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and as many Mandu as you can fit without overlapping. You will have to cook them in batches. Cook them for 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip them, carefully add a splash of water to the pan, and cover it immediately with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook them for about 4 minutes. The steam will help the Mandu cook through but cut one in half to make sure.

2 cups cabbage kimchi, shredded drained
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup carrot, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/3 lb ground beef
1/3 cup green onion, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

  • Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Combine egg and water. Moisten wonton edges with egg mixture; fold opposite corners over filling and press to seal. At this point you can freeze them.
