Spotlight: Steamed Mandoo

Once in a while, my mom buys these frozen, pre-cooked steamed mandoo (steamed buns filled with beef, veggies, and noodles) and makes one or two for each of us.  They are about 150 calories each, and they really serve as a yummy and filling snack.

You can buy these at your nearest Asian market.  They usually come frozen like this.

You might want to give it a quick rinse in water so it doesn't dry out in the microwave.

Then microwave it for a minute.  In the meantime, prepare a little dish of soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper powder.

Okay, so here's the mandoo. 

Here's what it looks like on the inside. 

Yum!

Dip a piece of it in the soy sauce.

Delicious!

Try these out sometime!  It takes zero cooking skills, and they are great snacks for between meals.  And let's be honest, you need more Asian persuasion in your life.  Get to it!
