Make delicious and easy pork, tofu, and vegetable dumplings with the whole family!
Ingredients:
  • 9.00 gm sesame seeds
  • 250g pork mince
  • 35g (1/2 cup) bean sprouts, trimmed, coarsely chopped
  • 3 shallots, pale section only, thinly sliced
  • 70g firm tofu
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 10.60 gm light soy sauce
  • 40 gow gee wrappers
  • 200ml water
  • 36.40 gm peanut oil
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) light soy sauce
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar
  • 9.00 gm sugar
  • Pinch of chilli powder
  • 1 shallot, pale section only, thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Toast sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring until golden. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, shallot, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds to create the chojang.
  • Mix the pork, bean sprouts, shallot, tofu, ginger, soy sauce, and remaining sesame seeds in a bowl. Season with white pepper, then use a large metal spoon to blend the pork mixture until smooth.
  • Lay a gow gee wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of pork mixture onto the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and press the edges together in a pleated pattern to seal. Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and pork mixture to create 40 mandu.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons of oil. Add 8 mandu and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 3 more minutes until the mandu are cooked through and the liquid evaporates. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil, mandu, and water in 4 more batches. Serve hot with chojang.
