Have you ever had leftover dumpling filling? Recently, I made a large batch of garlic chive dumplings. Those delicious dumplings are now steamed and waiting in the freezer to be eaten later. I feel very satisfied having frozen dumplings on hand, since they are convenient for quick meals later. Anyway, for that batch, I had some leftover filling, and with it, I made this recipe. Maybe you had the same experience before and did not know what to do with it; this is a good solution for that problem. 😉 Simply mixing the dumpling filling with a few other ingredients turns into a very tasty snack or appetizer. 🙂
Yield: 15 Patties

Main Ingredients
- 1½ Cup Leftover Dumpling Filling
- 1 Cup Kimchi
- ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Egg
Directions
Chop 1 cup of well fermented kimchi into small pieces.
Obtain 1½ cup of leftover dumpling filling. If it has a lot of liquid, drain some of the liquid.
Add the 1 cup of chopped kimchi, ½ cup of flour, and 1 egg to the dumpling filling. You can use Korean pancake mix, or frying mix, instead of flour.
Mix everything together.
Place a spoonful of the mixture in a generously oiled and heated pan. Spread it to make a round patty shape.
Fry them on medium-high.
When both sides become golden brown, they are done.
Since the dumpling filling and kimchi have enough flavor on their own, you do not need dipping sauce for these. Enjoy! 🙂
look so delicious…have to try this.
What a great idea! Thanks! 😀
Hi Aeri,i’ve made a large batch of buchu mandu like you(maybe about 100? I’m not sure).It took me a long day to chop,squeeze,seal,cook and…eat 😛 .After trying many ways to enjoy those delicious dumplings: steam,pan-fry,…i ‘d like something different.Since you have homemade mandu on hand now,could you post a recipe for mandu stew?(I hope they still last in your freezer 😛 ).I know you’re very busy so maybe you will add it to your list for future posting.
hi katoo,
Wow, you are happy with a lot of dumplings on your hand too.. lol.. I will add it to my list but I can’t make it right now. Thanks. Enjoy your dumplings ~~ ~:)
thank you so much for awesome recipes 😛
At this Korean festival in NYC I had this REALLY good Korean dish– but I don’t know what it was! It was prepared in a wok-like thing. It was very spicy, had reddish sauce, and there were cylindrical noodle-like things (a guy I asked said they were “like noodles” and that they were made with the same ingredients. They weren’t hollow, and they were chewier than Italian noodles) and maybe pieces of fish patty in it. I don’t think it was kimchi.
