Korean dumplings, or mandu, may be boiled, steamed, pan-fried or deep fried just like jiaozi, its Chinese ancestor, and gyoza, its Japanese sibling. When cooked and served in broth, it's called mandu-guk.
If you feel that the steamed pork buns from the neighborhood Chinese place could be better, that the bread is not fluffy enough and there isn’t sufficient meat filling, perhaps it’s time that you try making this dim sum favorite at home.
Lightly browned meatballs and vegetables are simmered in homecooked tomato soup. A lovely one-pot dish to enjoy on cold days and nights. Don't forget to serve bread on the side to mop up that lovely broth that's almost as thick as a sauce.
