I had gone to my girlfriends to help her family make Mandu for some holiday a few years back. Any I made were a disaster and her mom teased me about them. I haven't tried making them from scratch since. The Good part is I got a lunch box of Mandu a few days later. I wish I came across the site sooner.

There were some carts on the street that sold tiggim (twiggim?). Deep fried shrimp, sweet potato, mandu. There were also soju tents that had some of the most incredible spicy pork I have ever tasted. There was a small open market in the middle of the town where you could buy anything. The soups and ban chan there were fantastic. I loved going shopping with my wife and watching her haggle with different merchants, buying several items and then haggling about "service". I really enjoyed the 7 years I spent in Korea.

I didn't have any clue about that. I am far from Seoul and Gyeonggi province. :D Thanks for the tips. Hi Gil,

Doesn't taste at all the same. Yaki Mandu (deep fried) is more popular with Americans than either the pan fry or Jin Mandu. I guess that's because of the street and open market vendors in places like Songtan-si where many American Military and their families get their first exposure to Korean food.

I would have mentioned if I used cooked meat. Hi Krys,
