Hi there!
It's still cold in many parts of the country I know.. I hope you are all staying safe in this crazy weather!!
For me, cold weather reminds me of my days when I was a kid, when I tried to make Kimchi Mandu with my mom and sisters who are all 10+ years older which meant they were almost all adults at this time.
I always wanted to make mine look as pretty as my mom's or my sisters' but I always fell a little short. Either I added too much filling and couldn't close it up or there wasn't enough filling and the whole mandu looked pretty saggy and sad.. 😝😂
But I think what I enjoyed the most is that I was still allowed to participate and even though my mandu was not very good looking. My brother of course, was always proud of what he made, coming up with crazy reasons why it looks the way it does....he did it on purpose, it's to show some odd theory he has, whatever.. haha
Anyway, just so you know, this family Kimchi mandu is quite different from the frozen store bought ones because we like to put a lot of kimchi in it. This is a North Korean (Yibuksik 이북식) style mandu; it's full of kimchi flavor but also bursting with meat flavors of pork and beef.
BTW, to make it ultra unctuous, use cooked and chopped pork belly all the way!
I already have the full recipe post for Kimchi Mandu but I just uploaded full a Youtube Video with narration where I show you exactly how it's done. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.. hmm.. then is a video worth a million words??🤣😂
