I love all sorts of dumplings: boiled, steamed, and pot stickers. Just about any dumplings would make my stomach happy.

Healthy delicious kimchi dumplings in a plate.

Last week, I was craving for some dumplings and decided to make some kimchi dumplings, using the leftover kimchi in my fridge.

Oh boy, what a great combination by combining the traditional filling (I used ground pork) with kimchi and Korean sweet potato noodles. The dumplings were delicious as always, but with a tint of spiciness from the kimchi…so scrumptious, addictive and I couldn’t stop eating them.

For the dumplings, I made them potstickers style. First, I make the dumplings using store-bought dumpling wrappers and then slowly fill each wrapper with the filling, then fold and pleat them into the beautiful shape you see on the pictures here.

Kimchi dumplings are super delicious and the recipe is easy to follow. Add some Korean flavors into your regular dumplings and enjoy!

Ingredients  

  • 1 pack dumpling wrappers, round-shaped
  • oil , for pan-frying

For the Filling:

  • 1 oz (500g) Korean dried sweet potato noodles
  • 8 oz (230g) ground pork
  • 2 oz (60g) kimchi, squeeze and discard the excess kimchi juice and then finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon scallion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 dashes white pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Dipping Sauce:

  • Chinese black vinegar , or Japanese ponzu for dipping
  • Scallion, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions 

  • Cook the sweet potato noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them with cold water, drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Roughly chop the noodles into short strands.
  • Prepare the Dipping Sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the chopped sweet potato noodles with the remaining filling ingredients. Stir well until the filling is sticky and thoroughly mixed.
  • To assemble the dumplings, place a piece of the wrapper in your palm and spoon 1/2 heaping tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Do not overfill. Dip your index finger into a small bowl of water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Fold the dumpling to form a half-moon shape, then pinch to create about 5-6 pleats.
  • Press and seal tightly. Arrange the wrapped dumplings on a plate lined with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the plate. Repeat the steps above until the filling is used up.
  • Heat some oil in a small skillet or pan over low to medium heat. Arrange 8 dumplings in the skillet or pan and pan-fry until the bottoms turn light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over and pan-fry the other side until light brown, covering the skillet or pan with a lid while cooking. Repeat this process until all dumplings are cooked. Serve the dumplings warm with the Dipping Sauce.

    Hi hi, so coincidental! I made kimchi wontons last week, and saved a few for pot-sticker style. I like them too and thought the kimchi flavored the fillings really well.

    Hope you are doing well.
