Ingredients
- 1 cup Kimchi
- 200 g Firm tofu
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 30 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the kimchi and set aside in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes and then crumble it by hand or with a fork. Add it to the bowl with the kimchi.
Step 3
Trim and finely slice the green onions. Peel and mince the garlic. Add both to the kimchi and tofu mixture.
Step 4
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean work surface and spoon about one tablespoon of filling in the center.
Step 6
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water to help seal the dumpling.
Step 7
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 8
Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Place dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, in a single layer. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 10
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Step 11
Remove the lid and continue to fry for another 1-2 minutes to recrisp the bottoms.
Step 12
Transfer the dumplings to a platter. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
