Chicken & Kimchi Mandu

Korean dumplings with a chicken and tangy kimchi filling. The chicken provides a mild and tender texture, while the kimchi adds a burst of umami, along with its signature tanginess and heat. Enjoy with your favourite dipping sauce or serve with a hot and sweet gochujang coleslaw. Common dipping sauces include a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sometimes a touch of sugar or honey for sweetness.
