YAKI MANDU

Yaki Mandu image

Yaki Mandu is a Korean dumpling that can be steamed or fried. They look a lot like Chinese pot-stickers. Yaki means fried in Japanese and Mandu means dumpling in Korean. They're great for parties or as an appetizer. There's a lot of prep in making these and they take some time, but as quick as you can fry them they'll be gone!

Ingredients

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.

Ingredients

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
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry kimchi, bean sprouts and carrots in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil until tender; set aside.
In a small skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add to the vegetable mixture. Stir in the onions, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, salt and pepper.
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.
Heat remaining vegetable oil in a large skillet. Cook wontons in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, adding additional oil if needed.
