dangmyun is starch noodles. I used it in my japchae recipe.http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae
Please watch the video to learn how you cook the noodles. After cooking the noodles, chop them up and add to your mandu filling. very easy.

I think you can get the tool at a Korean grocery store. I am not a big fan of using the tool because the shape of mandu is not pretty. But if you are a busy person, why not using the tool!

yes, you can use only beef in this recipe. It will still be delicious!

Is it acceptable to use only beef in this recipe? Or perhaps substitute the pork for chicken? Thanks!

This recipe was amazing! I am a vegetarian so I just used tofu and shrimp. It was delicious. Better than store bought dumplings!

Hi Maangchi,

I just finished making mandu. Boy are they great! Thanks for making the video and sharing the recipe. My only problem was I ran out of wrappers long before I ran out of meat. I’ll buy more wrappers next time.

Actually, having too much meat mixture really isn’t really a problem because it’s delicious. Besides, I was happy to run out of wrappers because I was working alone and my back started to hurt. I’m going to make Jjajangmyun next.

Cheers!

Hi Maanchi,
I just found you site and have made your dumplings and the dessert made with the edible flowers. My family went wild for it especially the dessert. thank you very much. I also saw a demo for dumblings on another site. Can you tell me the name of the tools used to make the dumplings in different shapes and where I can purchase them? Thank you cecilia.
