National Korean American Day

 

Century ago,


remembrance of first hundred,


now mandu dumpling.

This day was made when the first wave of immigrants from Korea who made a pitstop at Hawaii first to work on their plantations. They were trying to escape from the extreme violent politics of their country as well as famine.

One of my favorite Korean dishes is their mandu dumplings. There's a restaurant that would make beef with vegetables and a sweet red bean mandu. They were more than a mouthful as they were the size of softballs.
