My first Mandu (dumplings)

My first Mandu (dumplings)

I like the taste of Korean foods so much but I can only eat when I go to a Korean Resto. One time I tried to cook one kind of Korean recipe, a Mandu or dumplings. Pls. do send me a message if it's not correct.

Ingredients:
• 1 cup of ground pork
• 2 cups of ground beef
• 2 cups of chopped boo chu (asian chives)
• 4-5 soaked Shiitake mushrooms
• half onion
• half package of tofu
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• salt
• sugar
• sesame oil
• vegetable oil
• fish sauce (patis)
• egg
• green onion
• mandu wrapper

Procedure:
1. Place 1 cup of ground pork and 2 cups of ground beef into big bowl. Add 1 ts of salt, 1 tbs of sesame oil, ½ ts of ground pepper and mix.
2. Wash asian chives (bu chu), dry well with paper towel or cotton cloth and then chop them to make 2 cups. Add 1 tbs of oil and mix. Set aside….
Note: oil will coat vegetables so that liquid would not come out from it.
3. Chop 4-5 soaked shiitake mushrooms and half an onion. Add 1 ts of soy sauce, 1 ts of sugar, and 2 ts of sesame oil and mix.
4. Squeeze half a package of tofu using cotton cloth or paper. Then add a pinch of salt, 1 ts of sesame oil and mix it and put it next to chopped chives.
5. In the big bowl, add 3 cloves of minced garlic and mix all ingredients by hand.
6. Then get a teaspoonful or a bit more of filling and wrap it with Mandu skin.


I bought this container, thought that it’s a good storage for my Mandu and space saver. Though I don’t like so much the colored blue, no choice, there’s no other color available but it’s so cheap ..^_^..



It's my first fried, it's a bit burnt because I forgot to put a small amount of water before I covered the pan..^_^..
