- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, kimchi, glass noodles, onion, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
- Mix all the ingredients well until thoroughly combined.
- Place a mandu wrapper on a flat surface. Put a spoonful of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. You can create pleats along one side of the dumpling for a more decorative look.
- Repeat the process until all the filling is used.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet or steamer over medium heat. Cook the dumplings for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown (if frying) or steam for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
