Mandu 만두

Prepare the Filling

Make Mandu

Notes: Take the dumpling skins and filling, then form the mandu and freeze.

Ingredients

80 regular size mandu skins

Filling

Water

Instructions

Set out a small bowl of water. Prepare a large tray or baking sheet lined with parchment paper or food plastic wrap.

Remove one dumpling skin from the package and put it on your palm. Dip your index finger into the water and wet the edges of the skin so that it will seal easily.

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the filling into the center of the skin.

Fold the skin over the filling, and press the wet edges to seal. Place on the parchment paper in the tray or baking sheet.

Repeat with the remaining dumpling skins and filling, placing the mandu on the tray with enough space between them so they don’t touch.

Freeze them at least 4 to 5 hours, or overnight, then transfer them to zipper-lock bags for longer freezing. When you are ready to use, defrost them in the refrigerator for a few hours and cook.
