Fill some dumplings

Dumplings are one of the world's most adaptable dishes, with variations appearing in regional cuisines from Eastern Europe to China. They are simple to prepare and offer the ideal vehicle for flavorful and varied fillings like kimchi. By adding some pork or tofu, you can turn leftover kimchi into a filling and substantial supper that is a handmade variation of the traditional Korean dish.

Kimchi mandu, a traditional Korean dumpling, can be beautifully steamed or fried while being coupled with both sweet and savory dipping sauces. The traditional rice cake soup served during Lunar New Year celebrations in Korea frequently contains kimchi dumplings in a hearty broth that is believed to bring luck and wealth. Use your imagination while making your kimchi dumplings by experimenting with sour twists on fluffy bao or crisp egg rolls combined with sweet, salty, or spicy sauces.
