Opis

Annyeong ìë; people greet each other with the same word when they meet and when they say goodbye. The word âìëíì¸ìâ (annyeonghaseyo) combines the characters ì (an), meaning âpeaceâ, and ë (nyeong), which also signifies âcomfortâ. Together, they express a state of being well and free of worries. This greeting captures both the joy of meeting and the bittersweet feeling of parting. The greeting annyeoung was created to encourage us to gently support ourselves everyday, consistently check in, and behave well. In Korean, dumplings are called âmanduâ (ë§ë). While Korean dumplings may not be as widely known as their Chinese or Japanese counterparts, they have their own charm. Made from wheat or buckwheat dough filled with various ingredients like tofu, kimchi, glass noodles, and bean sprouts, they offer a delightful flavour that highlights the harmony of the ingredients. Mandu reminds me of myself. It does something special for me, it makes me think, brings back memories, and, yes, it also makes me hungry. When I was younger,I thought dumplings were found only in Asia, but Iâve since learned that wrapped foods are a common part of many cultures around the world. They are important to all of them. Dumplings offer comfort, bring families together and connect generations everywhere. Though their shapes and sizes may differ, they all evoke cherished memories. And, of course, they are delicious.
