Step 1

Mix the water, flour and salt together to form a scrappy dough. Turn out onto your work-surface and knead into a ball. Wrap in a plastic bag and let sit for 20 minutes to soften the dough.

Step 2

Take dough out of bag - it should be nice and soft now. Knead for 6- minutes until smooth then place in the bag again and let sit on the counter for 40 minutes. You can mix your filling while you wait.

Step 3

Remove dough from bag. Roll dough into a log and cut dough into about 20 round pieces. Roll each piece out carefully until you have a wrapper. Dust a large plate or platter with cornstarch. Dust the wrapper generously with cornstarch before you place onto a platter and cover with a tea towel as you roll the rest of the wrappers or they will stick together. repeat til you finish all your wrappers. they don't have to be perfect - they're homemade!

Step 4

Boil dangmyeon for about 7-8 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Then chop up into small pieces and place into a large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Mix very well.

Step 5

Place a heaped spoon of filling into the centre of your dumplings skin. Seal them up and fold as desired (there's lots of good youtube videos on different ways to fold dumplings). Place folded dumplings onto a plate/platter dusted with cornstarch.

Step 6

Place a little oil in a pan and heat on low- medium heat. Fry mandu on all sides until golden brown on all sides. Recommend serving with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, a little dark vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang and spring onion.
