  • – 3x spring onions, sliced
  • – 10g garlic chives (0.3 ounces), finely chopped
  • – 2x clove of garlic, minced

Miso Sweet Potato Mandu

Ingredients – Makes 40 – you can freeze extra filling

  • 150g shredded cabbage 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 250g mashed sweet potato – just roast in their skins and scrape out the filling
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 100g of diced firm tofu 
  • 2 grated garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Zest of 1 lime

PAN FRIED MANDU:

In a well-heated pan, add some cooking oil. Place some mandu and cook over medium-high heat until the bottom of the mandu is golden brown (2 to 3 mins). Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low. Add the water (1/4 cup) and put the lid on to cook with the steam. This will ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked without burning. Your mandu should be ready to eat when most of the water disappears in the pan (in about 5 mins).

STEAMED MANDU:

Place some non-stick materials (e.g. cabbage leaves or baking paper) on a steamer and place the mandu in it. Make sure the mandu are not touching each other. Put the lid on. Place the steamer over rolling boiling water (in a saucepan) and cook the mandu for 15 to 20 minutes on medium-low heat.

Serve the mandu on a plate while still hot and with Korean dipping sauce or soy sauce.
