Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a wonderfully simple yet incredibly delicious recipe for ‘Vegetable Bibim Mandu’ that you can easily make at home. It’s a delightful dish where crispy fried dumplings meet a vibrant, crunchy vegetable salad. It’s perfect for a late-night snack, a quick bite, or even as an accompaniment to a cold beer. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the dumplings. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the frozen dumplings into the pan. Fry them, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and wonderfully crispy on all sides. Achieving a nice, even crispiness is key to the best texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the tangy and spicy vegetable salad that will complement our dumplings. In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly shredded cabbage and the chives cut into bite-sized pieces. Add all the dressing ingredients: 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, and 2 tablespoons of corn syrup (feel free to adjust the sweetness to your preference). Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of sesame seeds for added nutty flavor.
Step 4
Using chopsticks or tongs, gently toss the vegetables and dressing together until everything is well combined. The goal is to coat the crisp cabbage and chives evenly without making them soggy. This mixing process will create a wonderfully refreshing salad with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy notes that will awaken your palate.
Step 5
And there you have it! Arrange the golden-brown, crispy fried dumplings on a plate. Generously spoon the vibrant vegetable salad next to them. To enjoy, simply dip the hot, crispy dumplings into the cool, tangy salad. The delightful combination of textures – the crispiness of the dumpling and the crunch of the vegetables – along with the explosion of flavors, creates the ultimate Vegetable Bibim Mandu! Isn’t this a fantastic and easy recipe?
