Need some suggestions - and what are the tastiest mandu to buy? Cheers!

[pkang0202]

The best mandu I've ever eaten, I bought out the back of a madu truck.

I really like to eat Kimchee Mandu.

The best thing that goes with mandu is fresh kimchi, and some soy sauce.

I know the best yaki(goon) mandu place ever. Mandu hasn't been the same since, and I can't eat other kinds anymore.

yup.. some soy sauce and simple side dishes, such as kimchi.. or pickled radish - that yellow looking radish.

you could have a green salad if you wanted, anything goes really.

I hardly ever eat dumplings here. If I do, I like to mix soy sauce, vinegar and ground red pepper or red pepper paste. The gochu pepper really isn't all that good though. I guess I was spoiled in Taiwan where the dumplings are much better and you have lajiaojiang (red chilli sauce - no, not the same as what you might think - maybe you can get that at a black market store).

I think the kimchi mandu at MiMandoo are better than the ones at KimBapChunGuk because the former are spicier.

When I first came to Korea mandu was my favorite food. Reminded me of pot stickers. I found an "expensive mandu" place with meaty, fist sized mandu and really, really good kimchi (had a velvety texture and a rich, tangy spiciness). Literally all they served was mandu and seafood soup. And they gave you enough Kimchi on the side to last you several days.

For sauce I'd have soy sauce, red pepper poweder, vinegar, and a touch of sesame oil. I don't eat mandu any more because I only eat whole foods now, but I miss it.

It's very nice in a soup - I buy a roast chicken from the local chicken truck, eat the meat, then boil down the carcass with some spices for later.

Pull the bones out, boil, throw in an onion, some garlic, herbs and other vegetables of your choice (I like to put in kimchi) and some noodles, then your mandu, and you've got a delicious soup.

A very personal preference, but I like to eat mandoo (any kind) with hot mustard.
Yum.

[kirbs]

mul-mandoo.

just mandoo boiled in water. slop some in a bowl, add some yangyan-ganjang and have at it.

Lately I've been slapping a bit of 된장 on top of my 김치만두.

[luffy]

pkang is right. Kimchee mandoo is really tasty

Usually fried in bacon or duck fat.
