Bibigo Pork Mandoo


Yesterday I made the Bibigo Pork Mandoo that I found at Palama Market earlier this month.

I placed the frozen mandoo into a pan and fried all three sides.  Then I put about a spoonful of water into the pan and covered for about a minute or two so that it would come out gyoza-ish.

I ate it with a bit of V's So Damn Ono Sauce mixed with a few drops of perilla oil. I liked it!

This is the perilla oil that I bought at Palama Market back in the day when I used to leave my house.

I love gyoza/mandoo!!! After you mentioned perilla oil - which is a very healthy oil according to Dr. Stephen Gundry of the Plant Paradox book - I went to Palama market and bought perilla oil. However, I bought the bottle to the right of the one you show. I haven't tried it yet but will soon.

One of my favorites-gyoza! Haven’t tried perilla oil, and what is that V’s sauce taste like?

Aunty, ooh, I was debating on getting that one or the one I got. I have a feeling yours will be better 'cause was more expensive. LOL.

Izsmom, I'm glad I copied that other shopper.

Susan, it's a spicy, sweet sauce. I just love it.

Looks so Ono. Now that you're sheltered in place, can cook and experiment, tweak the dishes.

Actually, it was a bigger bottle so was cheaper by the weight. I liked yours better though - nicer looking bottle.

I am not much of a epicurian, I’m afraid. I haven’t heard of perilla oil. Now you have me curious. Perhaps once this crisis is over.

mmm!

jalna said...

Chet, so true!

Aunty, hope you get to try it soon. I like the flavor.

Kay, I've been watching a Korean family eating (and cooking) on YouTube and they use the oil a lot.

Kat, LOL, yes.

j: I use to do the gyoza demo for....dang forget the name...biggest frozen food maker in Taiwan. We went to all the supermarkets demo-ing. Anyways, the way to do it is add about roughly 3-4 TB of oil and water together. Line gyoza sitting up. Put on med. low flame if frozen, med. if thawed. Put cover on, and when you hear the sizzle and pop lift the cover and pau. It steams and crisps it at the same time. The sizzle sound is the water being evaporated, comes out perfect each time. Do not open cover til pau. -N
