In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry cabbage, bean sprouts and carrots in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil until tender; set aside.

This is called Mandu (MON doo). It's shaped more like a potsticker than a wonton. A dipping sauce of soy sauce, rice vinegar, Korean Red Pepper and thinly sliced scallions is nice to have. We use fresh bean sprouts (mung beans). The canned ones get too soggy.
