These crispy, pan-fried little parcels are filled with ground pork and kimchi which, like cilantro and lime or dal and rice, just go together. Make the filling up to a day in advance, then enlist friends or family members to help you wrap. You can get as basic or as fancy as you\u2019d like with your pleats; for a step-by-step tutorial on the pleat instructions I describe in the recipe, check out this terrific guide on The Woks of Life\u00a0 under \u201c#4: The Bi-Directional Pleat.” For maximum efficiency use a very large lidded nonstick skillet so you can cook up to 25 dumplings at once. The technique of steam-frying the dumplings in a combination of water and oil ensures the filling stays juicy while the bottoms get nice and crispy.<\/p>\n

Stir black vinegar, \u00bc cup soy sauce, \u00bd tsp. sugar, and \u00bd tsp. gochugaru in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved; set dipping sauce aside.<\/p>\n
Drain kimchi in a strainer set over a medium bowl in the sink. Wearing gloves, squeeze all juice out of kimchi; reserve kimchi juice for another use (it\u2019s great in soups!). Chop kimchi and set aside (you should have about 1\u00bd cups).<\/p>\n
Using clean hands, mix pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, broth, sesame oil, oyster sauce, salt, white pepper, remaining 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, remaining 2 tsp. sugar, and remaining 1 tsp. gochugaru in a large bowl until well combined. Switch to a wooden spoon and mix, stirring in one direction, until a thin white film forms on the sides of bowl, about 4 minutes (this ensures the filling will hold together when spooned into wrappers and also doubles as your arm day workout.) (Alternatively, mix filling in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until a film forms on the sides of bowl.) Mix in reserved kimchi. Chill filling while you set up your dumpling wrapping station.<\/p>\n
Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set wrappers on a small plate and loosely cover with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out while you are folding dumpings. Place a small bowl of water near your work surface.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re ready to wrap! Lay a wrapper flat in the palm of your nondominant hand. Spoon a heaping teaspoonful of filling into center of wrapper. Dip a finger of your dominant hand into bowl with water and moisten the half of wrapper nearest to you. Bring moistened wrapper half together with dry half to form a semicircle and pinch middle to seal. Working from one corner toward the middle, create 1 or 2 pleats along one edge of dumpling; repeat working from the opposite corner. Place dumpling on a prepared baking sheet so the pleated side is facing up and the dumpling has a flat bottom (this is the side that\u2019s going to get maximum crisp!). Cover with a damp kitchen towel or a sheet of plastic wrap and repeat process with remaining wrappers and filling.<\/p>\n
Pour 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil into a cold large nonstick skillet with a lid and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Arrange half of dumplings, flat side down, in a single layer in skillet, then carefully pour in enough water to cover bottom third of dumplings (about \u00bd cup). Cover skillet, place over medium-high heat, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer dumplings until water is almost completely absorbed, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until skillet is dry and bottoms of dumplings are deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer dumplings to a platter. Swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil into skillet and repeat cooking process with remaining dumplings (or freeze the rest for a rainy-day snack).<\/p>\n
Serve dumplings hot with reserved dipping sauce alongside.<\/p>\n
Do Ahead:<\/strong> Filling can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Dumplings can be formed 2 months ahead; freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Cook dumplings from frozen as directed above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These crispy, pan-fried little parcels are filled with ground pork and kimchi which, like cilantro and lime or dal and rice, just go together.
