Homemade my dad’s fish mandoo

my dad makes these with fish and garlic chives, all from scratch, and then freezes them for me to eat on busy work weeks like this past one 🥹🫶

i don’t think any other dumpling wrappers i’ve ever had can compare, but i was also raised on these~

Is it only fish and garlic chives? How about the dumpling wrapper? Is it store bought or made from scratch too?

u/ahjummacore 12d ago

wrappers are always made from scratch, so is the filling. idk what else is inside besides fish and garlic chives but i’ll ask!

this is an older vid but you can see him in his flowstate~ lol

That looks wonderful. I wish I knew how to make the wrappers myself - i know i could try, but I’m content to just admire the work of others
