Method
 

How to Make Bibim Mandu
  1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix gochujang, gochugaru (if using), rice vinegar, soy sauce, agave nectar (or sugar), and sesame seeds. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Mandu: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry dumplings until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Alternately, lightly spray dumplings with oil and air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In a large bowl, combine vegetables with the sauce. Mix gently to coat everything. Serve alongside crispy mandu, garnishing with extra sesame seeds.
  5. Optional: Drizzle with extra gochujang for added spice.
