 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2   lb           Nappa cabbage
    3/4   ts           Salt
  8       oz           Minced or ground beef chuck
    3/4   c            Chopped scallion
  1                    Garlic clove -- minced
  1       tb           Soy sauce
  2       ts           Sesame seeds -- toasted
                       - slightly crushed
  2       ts           Sesame oil
    1/4   ts           Ground pepper
 40                    Wonton wrappers

 Sprinkle the cabbage leaves with 1/2 tsp salt and let
 stand about 15 minutes until they wilt.  Squeeze out
 any moisture, then rinse and dry the leaves.  Chop the
 cabbage.  In a bowl combine the cabbage, beef,
 scallions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame
 oil, pepper and 1/4 tsp salt and mix thoroughly.  To
 make each dumpling, place 1 1/2 teaspoonful filling in
 the center of a wrapper using two spoons.  Fold the
 wonton wrapper in half to form a semi-circle (if using
 round wrappers) or a triangle (if using square
 wrappers).  Seal the edges by moistening them with a
 little water and pinching them.  You may freeze the
 dumplings at this point on a cookie sheet or continue
 to use them by frying, steaming or in a soup.

 To Fry:  Heat oil in a wok or frying pan to 360
 degrees.  Fry about 10 at a time for 3 minutes or
 until golden.

 To Steam:  Arrange on lightly oiled plate, but do not
 let them touch each other.  Pour about 2 inches of
 boiling water into a wok, set the plates in the
 steamer and set the steamer in the wok.  Cover the
 steamer and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.

 Skillet Method:  In a 12" skillet heat 2 tablespoons
 of oil until hot. Fill the skillet with mandu, making
 sure that they do not touch.  Cook until the bottoms
 brown; about 1 minute.  Add 1/3 cup water or beef
 broth to the skillet and cover and cood for about 10
 minutes.

 Serve Yakimandu with Dipping sauce.
