Kimchi Mandoo (dumpling)















Kimchi Mandoo

"Mandoo (mandu, mandoo gui, mahndoo, gun mandoo, yaki mandoo) are steamed or pan-fried dumplings, usually stuffed with a mixture of beef, pork and kimchi. The dumpling dough is thin, and the dumplings are flat and shaped in a half-moon, unlike their Chinese counterparts. They are served with soy sauce and a vinegar dipping sauce, which might be flavored with pickled hot peppers, bits of green onion, sesame seeds or all three" (from Washington Post).

Those dumplings look YUMMY!! I have heard that "real" kimchi is good but then I wouldn't know how to find good from bad so I'm nervous to try it. I should just do it I guess.

Nice Blog

P.S. The sushi looked great too. YUM!!

I would love to know!! How would I know what type of restaurant would serve it well? Just try a Korean restaurant? Lets face it not all Chinese is good Chinese. Tampa has a lot of good ethnic restaurants I just wouldn't know how to pick.

If I live in Tampa, I can give better recommendation. I, however, found one restaurant in Tampa using internet.

The name of this restaurant is Korean.
Their kimchi might be better than other Japanese or Chinese style Korean restaurants.

If you want to buy a kimchi, try this internet store.

"Chongga Cut Cabbage Kimchi" is good.
