Even though I grew up in a traditional household, conversing in my native tongue, eating Kimchi with everything morning, noon, and night, the..read more
After the classic mandu/mandoo video I posted awhile back, I’ve gotten several requests for variations on it. You and wonton skins can have a bff set up, if you wish.
