well you just might as well call me chef jane. homemade mandu (korean dumplings).

third time's the charm? you bet. 

i made mandu for the third time and they are my best batch yet. i used my favorite korean food blogger maangchi's recipe. i definitely can't say i can cook well. yangkyu actually is way better than i am. and i think i take after my mom. i make things a bit saltier. yangkyu a bit more bland {just like his mom!}. but i can follow along to maangchi's recipe just fine and i haven't had a huge taste gaffe yet. {thank goodness}

i think my favorite part about the mandu stuffing are the shitake mushrooms and asian chives. they smell incredible. 

i won't repeat the entire ingredients and the how-to here. if you're interested, visit maangchi's page. she also has a whole variety of recipes you can try. 

i tried this one as well. so good. yangkyu gobbled it up in a flash.

happy eating! 

ps - oh and this is my 200th blog post. it's kinda exciting!
