I don't know if I spelled this correctly. I tried this in South Korea when I was there with the U.S. Army in 1986.
Just outside of Osan AFB, there were street vendors and my favorite street food was Yakki Mandoo - fried turnovers filled with stuff (shrimp?, cabbage? not sure). I remember I used to get a big bag of them for a dollar. Sprinkled heavily with coarse salt, they were tasty and filling - I told them to hold the salt as they were salty enough by themselves. the bag was made out of an old Army pay record that was stapled to form a bag. In today's OPSEC environment, I guess all the finance records are shredded.
Anyway, I would like to find the recipe. Haven't seen it served in any Korean restaurants either.
