Mandu

Mandu are delightful Korean dumplings filled with a savory mixture of ground meat and vegetables, wrapped in a gluten-free dough. This breakfast version is quick to prepare and packed with flavor, making it a perfect start to your day.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free rice flour - 150 grams
• Tapioca starch - 50 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Ground pork - 100 grams
• Chopped kimchi - 50 grams
• Chopped green onions - 30 grams
• Minced garlic - 1 clove
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cooking oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rice flour and tapioca starch. Gradually add warm water and mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In another bowl, combine ground pork, chopped kimchi, green onions, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the filling.
4. Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
5. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Place the mandu in the skillet and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Serve hot with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.
