Kimchi Mandu


Here is the plate of kimchi mandu and kimchi. I would describe this as a worthwhile taste discovery. I noticed that the mandu has a delayed "heat" effect. With regular kimchi the "heat" feeling is immediate upon placing the kimchi into the mouth. However, with the kimchi mandu, the heat sensation is delayed for a number of seconds. The other thing that I enjoyed about this, is the tenderness of the kimchi inside the mandu. For those who enjoy kimchi, I think that you will really like these mandu. For those of you who only tolerate kimchi when necessary, you may find this a better alternative. As with most Korean food, the price is very reasonable: $5C for a bag containing approx. 40 mandu.

Served with sesame oil, soy sauce and crushed, roasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
