In the early 1960s, Daegu residents began reimagining traditional Chinese-style dumplings, transforming them into a beloved staple or light snack. The dumplings were made with a thinner, flatter skin and a reduced filling, then topped with soy sauce, sliced onions, and red pepper powder. What sets these flat dumplings apart is their subtle, almost bland flavor, which has evolved into a unique delicacy that can only be found in Daegu. Today, they are often enjoyed alongside other local favorites, such as Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and Muchim-hoe (spicy raw fish salad), making them an essential part of the city's culinary identity.
