Mandoos after Midnight






My sister and I have been talking about making mandoo (the Korean word for dumplings) to bring in the new year, so I decided to start experimenting with whatever ingredients I could find in our fridge tonight. The fact that this happened after midnight reflects how inspiration strikes at odd times. 


The fried version consists of ground pork, enoki mushrooms, scallions, cilantro, ginger, garlic, red onion, mirin, soy, & sesame oil.  
The one above was filled with all of the ingredients in the fried version plus minced chicken and black bean chili paste and simmered in a gingered chicken broth.
