Best Mandoo Recipes

SPICY MANDOO (KOREAN DUMPLING)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles at a boil until softened yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water for 1 minute. Transfer noodles to a flat work surface; cut into small pieces.
• Combine noodles, pork, onion, napa cabbage, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir filling together with a spoon or mash by hand.
• Place 3/4 tablespoon filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet your fingers and run them along the edges of the wrapper. Fold over the filling; press ends together using a fork. Flip and repeat on the other side to strengthen the seal. Repeat filling and shaping with the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mandoo; cook until lightly browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add about 1/2 inch water. Cook, covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

MANDOO (KOREAN DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix pork, zucchini, ginger, pepper, salt, scallions and egg.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add about 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture to the center of a dumpling wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with a fingertip dipped in water. Fold over to create triangle or semicircle, depending on the shape of your wrappers. Gently pinch wrapper together using thumbs and forefingers so that the wrapper hugs the filling, checking that edges are aligned and sealed.
• Cook in batches, carefully dropping several mandoo into the boiling water at a time (nine should fit comfortably in a stockpot). Cook for about 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from water. Briefly drain cooked dumplings on paper towel before placing on a plate.
