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

To assemble the dumplings, place a piece of the wrapper on your palm and spoon 1/2 heaping tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Do not overfill. Dip your index finger into a small boil of water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Fold the dumpling to form a half-moon shape and then pinch to from about 5-6 pleats.

Press and seal tightly. Arrange the wrapped dumplings on a plate lined with parchment paper to avoid the dumpling 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 on the skillet or pan. Pan-fry the dumplings until the bottom turns light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and pan-fry the other side until light brown. Cover the skillet or pan with its lid while cooking. Repeat the same until all dumplings are cooked. Serve the dumplings warm with the Dipping Sauce.

Is this Chinese food? Very similar to what I ate in the north of China last year. I tried to cook when back home but it’s so hard you know.
