Patrick's Yaki Mandu gets its inspiration from Korean cuisine. It's made by combining cooked pork chops, chopped turnip greens, garlic, sesame seeds, and bacon drippings. The ingredients are cooked in a pan and spooned onto small egg roll wrappers. The wrappers are then pinched together to form a small pouch. The Mandu pouches are baked until they're crispy and golden brown and served with soy sauce on the side. This snack is perfect for parties and gatherings, or as a tasty treat for a snack. It's easy to prepare, delicious, and a perfect combination of savory and crunchy flavors.
