Mandu with Gochujang Sauce Salad

Recipe in collaboration with Chef Sun Young Koo @needleandcooker

INGREDIENTS

    15 frozen mandu dumplings, 2 carrots, 1/4 head of cabbage, 1 spring onion, 3 tablespoons sesame oil

PREPARATION
1.

Leave the mandu to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

2.

For the sauce: Thinly slice the vegetables using a knife or a coarse grater: cabbage, carrots, and spring onion. Sauté the vegetables in two tablespoons of sesame oil for 10 minutes. Add one or two tablespoons of Gochujang sauce and keep warm.

3.

For the mandu: Add a little sesame oil to a non-stick pan and cook the thawed mandu covered with a lid to create steam inside the pan, turning the dumplings several times to cook them evenly (8–10 minutes).




4.

Serve the mandu topped with the vegetable sauce.
