		Mandu, manty, or mantı (Turkish) refers to dumplings in Korean, Turkish, Persian, and Pashtoon cuisines.
		In Korean cuisine, mandu can be taken to mean one of two things: first, the type of filled dumplings similar to the Turkish mantı, the Chinese jiaozi, or the Japanese gyoza; or second, a type of steamed bun similar to the Chinese mantou.
