MANDU (KOREAN DUMPLINGS)

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.
