What is Mandu (dumpling)?
[[File:Mandu (dumpling).JPG|thumb|Mandu]] '''Mandu''' (만두; 饅頭) are Korean-style [[dumplings]] from [[Korea]]. ''Mandu'' were introduced in Korea in the middle of the [[Joseon]] dynasty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hansik.org/en/board.do?cmd=view&bbs_id=211&menu=PEN3020000&lang=en&art_id=37017|title=Korean Food Promotion Institute|website=www.hansik.org|language=en|access-date=2018-07-26|archive-date=2018-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920234826/http://www.hansik.org/en/board.do?cmd=view&bbs_id=211&menu=PEN3020000&lang=en&art_id=37017|url-status=dead}}</ref> They are made from [[flour]] stuffed with [[meat]] and [[vegetables]]. This filling is called ''so'' (소). [[Pork]] is the most common [[meat]] for ''so'', but [[beef]], [[chicken]], or [[pheasant]] can also be ingredients of ''mandu''. [[Vegetables]] are typically [[carrots]], [[cucumbers]], [[onions]], and [[bean sprouts]]. Other additional ingredients are [[kimchi]], [[tofu]], or chopped [[noodle]]s made from [[sweet potato]]es. They can be fried, boiled, steamed or even baked, and each type has a different name. ''Mandu'' are usually served with [[soy sauce]] mixed with [[vinegar]] for dipping. They were traditionally made only in the early winter or for a holiday. However, in modern times, they are an everyday food. == References == * http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=59581{{Dead link|date=January 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} {{reflist}} [[Category:Korean food]]
