Hi guys!
Today I’m going to share one of my family recipe, Kimchi Mandu! 😀
Kimchi is Korean fermented vegetables and Mandu means Korean filled dumplings. Mandu is usually filled up many different vegetables, noodles, tofu and ground meat/seafood. Though, my favorite Mandu is definitely Kimchi Mandu because it’s slightly spicy and tangy from kimchi, the flavor is just so delicious!
My mom always made this Kimchi Mandu every Korean holiday, such as Chooseok(Korean Thanksgiving) and Lunar New Year. Oh, making mandu is definitely brings all the beautiful lovely memories of my childhood.
My favorite is hands down- steamed Kimchi Mandu, but deep fry or pan fry is very delicious as well! My mom makes Manduguk(Dumpling soup) with these mandu the next day and it is so delicious, you can’t resist…
Hopefully you can make your own beautiful and lovely memories with your family while making mandu at home as our family did. 🙂

This is my Mom’s recipe for kimchi mandu!! She cooked the meat as well. My sister and I were in charge of rolling out the dumpling wrappers as Mom made 50 fist sized mandu at a time. She passed away this May and I miss her every day. Reading this just reminded me of those days making mandu together. Thanks Seonkyoung!
Awwwwwwwww Meekyoung, my dear, I can feel you… Those family memories will pass down to our kids and it will keep going on and on… <3 <3 <3
I am going to make this today but I sure wish I had your recipe for the chili/onion soy sauce you eat it with at the end of your video!! Merry Christmas!!
just add soy sauce and vinegar ratio of 1:1 and a pinch of sugar and enjoy~!
