Author Notes
I had a Korean dumpling once that was stuffed with pork and Chinese celery and it has haunted me ever since. The pork and celery go together for me like bread and butter. I find it to be a wonderful combination. I have not seen anything quite like this although I must add I have never been to Korea where it may be more prevalent. I used fresh Hong Kong style egg noodles but I am guessing just about any noodle would do just fine. —thirschfeld
