'''Mandu''' or '''mandoo''' is a traditional [[Korean cuisine|Korean]] dumpling that is a popular part of the country's culinary culture. The dish is typically made by filling a thin dough wrapper with a variety of ingredients, which can include [[meat]], [[vegetables]], and [[tofu]], among others. The dumplings are then either steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or deep-fried.

== History ==

The history of mandu dates back to the [[Goryeo Dynasty]], when it was introduced to Korea by the Mongols. The dish quickly became a staple of Korean cuisine and has been enjoyed by Koreans for centuries. The name "mandu" is derived from the [[Mongolian language|Mongolian]] word "mantu," which means dumpling.

== Varieties ==

There are many different varieties of mandu, each with its own unique characteristics. Some of the most popular types include:

* '''[[Kimchi]] mandu''': This variety is filled with kimchi, a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented cabbage and spices.
* '''[[Bulgogi]] mandu''': This variety is filled with bulgogi, a type of Korean barbecue beef.
* '''[[Jjin mandu]]''': This is a steamed version of mandu, often served with a dipping sauce.
* '''[[Gun mandu]]''': This is a pan-fried version of mandu, which gives it a crispy exterior.

== Preparation and Serving ==

The preparation of mandu involves making the dough, preparing the filling, assembling the dumplings, and then cooking them. The dough is typically made from [[flour]] and [[water]], while the filling can include a wide range of ingredients, depending on the specific variety of mandu being made. Once the dumplings are assembled, they are cooked by either steaming, boiling, pan-frying, or deep-frying.

Mandu is often served with a dipping sauce made from [[soy sauce]], [[vinegar]], and [[chili pepper]]s. It can be enjoyed as a main dish, a side dish, or a snack.

== Cultural Significance ==

Mandu holds a significant place in Korean culture. It is traditionally eaten during the [[Lunar New Year]] as a symbol of good luck for the coming year. The shape of the dumplings is said to resemble the shape of ancient Korean money, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
