I love dumplings. But I had never had Korean dumplings until today even though I go to Korean restaurants a lot. It's because every time when I ordered steamed Korean dumplings or boiled dumplings in Korean restaurants, I was told the dumplings were sold out!! It just made me even more curious about the Korean dumplings, and it therefore made me more eager to try them out. I finally was able to order the Korean Dumpling Soup (laced with egg drop and topped with shredded dry sea weed) today at one Korean restaurant. I felt so lucky!! While I still prefer Chinese dumplings a lot more, I enjoyed the Korean dumpling soup very much. The broth was so soothing and comforting. I think the broth was infused with anchovy. But there was no obvious fish taste. The broth just tasted delicately delicious. As for the dumplings, I think the filling is minced beef, glass noodles and some veggies, which I think were a little under seasoned. But then may be it's supposed to be this way to be paired with the tasty broth and an array of richly seasoned vegetable side dishes. I love the side dishes in this restaurant because they made me love eating my veggies. Besides, this restaurant always includes my beloved potato salad among the side dishes, while it varies the rest. The dumpling soup also came with a bowl of rice on the side. As a lunch special, it costs $11.95. But I usually stuffed myself up so much with all the side dishes and rice that I always ended up taking most of the dumpling soup home. The dumplings actually tasted better the next day. Service can be slow, so I suggest ordering to go by the phone and go for pick-up when time is a luxury during lunch hour. I was overall happy with the food in terms of taste and satisfaction. I also love that I learnt a new Korean word today, "Man Du" means dumpling in Korean.
