Mandu (dumpling)
''Mandu'' (), or mandoo, are dumplings in Korean cuisine. * ''Mandu'' can be steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or deep-fried. The styles also vary across regions in the Korean Peninsula. ''Mandu'' were long part of Korean royal court cuisine, but are now found in supermarkets, restaurants, and snack places such as ''pojangmacha'' and ''bunsikjip'' throughout Korea. Names and etymology The name is cognate with the names of similar types of meat-filled dumplings along the Silk Road in Central Asia, such as Uyghur ''manta'' (), Turkish ', Kazakh '' mänti'' (), Uzbek ', Afghan ' and Armenian '' mantʿi'' (). Chinese ''mántou'' (; ) is also considered a cognate, which used to mean meat-filled dumplings, but now refers to steamed buns without any filling. ''Mandu'' can be divided into ''gyoja'' () type and ''poja'' () type. In Chinese, the categories of dumplings are called ''jiǎozi'' (; ) and ''bāozi'' () respectively, which are cognates with the Korean words. In Japanese, the forme ...

Korea
Korea ( ko, 한국, or , ) is a peninsular region in East Asia. Since 1945, it has been divided at or near the 38th parallel, with North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) comprising its northern half and South Korea (Republic of Korea) comprising its southern half.

Unified Silla eventually collapsed into three separate states due to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bunsik
''Bunsik'' () is a generic term used to refer to inexpensive Korean dishes available at ''bunsikjeom'' (분식점) or ''bunsikjip'' (분식집) snack restaurants. Since the term ''bunsik'' literally means "food made from flour," foods such as ''ramyeon'' (Korean: 라면) (noodle soup) and bread can be considered ''bunsik''. However, the modern definition of the term also includes other dishes served at bunsik restaurants that can be had in large portions at low prices, such as ''gimbap'', ''tteokbokki'', ''ramyeon'', ''rabokki'' (''tteokbokki'' with ''ramyeon''), ''sundae'', ''eomuk'', ''twigim'', and others. There is a representative Korean ''bunsikjip'' called "Gimbap-Cheonguk" (English: Gimbap Heaven) In Korea, there are many general snack bars selling everything from simple food to a full meal menu. History During the 1960s, rice was scarce in South Korea South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part o ...

Mántou
''Mantou'' (), often referred to as Chinese steamed bun, is a white and soft type of steamed bread or bun popular in northern China. Folk etymology connects the name ''mantou'' to a tale about Zhuge Liang. Description ''Mantou'' are typically eaten as a staple food in northern parts of China where wheat, rather than rice, is grown. They are made with milled wheat flour, water and leavening agents. In size and texture, they range from , soft and fluffy in the most elegant restaurants, to over , firm and dense for the working man's lunch. As white flour, being more heavily processed, was once more expensive, white ''mantou'' were something of a luxury in preindustrial China. Traditionally, ''mantou'', ''bing'', and wheat noodles were the staple carbohydrates of the northern Chinese diet, analogous to rice, which forms the mainstay of the southern Chinese diet. They are also known in the south, but are often served as street food or a restaurant dish, rather than as a stapl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
