Kim Dae-seok's Kimchi Dumplings

Homemade kimchi dumplings with moist, chewy wrappers and a savory filling made by thoroughly squeezing out moisture from the ingredients and enhancing the meat with marinade.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the kimchi, tofu, and bean sprouts to prevent the filling from becoming soggy or bursting.
  • Marinating the ground pork beforehand ensures the meat doesn’t separate and the seasoning penetrates evenly throughout the filling.
  • Sprinkling cold water on the dumplings midway through steaming (after 5 minutes) helps the wrappers retain moisture, keeping them chewy even when cooled.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make homemade dumplings with deep umami flavor and crisp texture, unlike store-bought versions.
  • Families looking to prepare delicious kimchi dumplings together on holidays or weekends with care and tradition.
