[quote=Anonymous]OP, what kind of cooking skills do you have and what kind of time are you willing to invest?  A simple stir fry will be ready before the delivery man could show up, but if you have a teeny bit of time you can do SO much and it tastes so much better.

Okay, I make egg rolls at home but don't exactly have a "recipe."  You just have to feel it out.
ground chicken (I use ground pork quite often but obviously OP wouldn't)
napa cabbage, sliced thinly
carrots, shredded finely
other veg as appropriate - maybe chopped water chestnuts, mushrooms, thinly sliced onion...?
garlic, ginger, chiles, salt, cumin, etc.  Whatever you want.

Basically stir fry the whole mess and let it cool.  Try to keep it kind of "dry" as a super wet filling gets messy.  Use a spoon to get some of the liquid out after it's cooled, if necessary.
I like to stir in some hoisin and/or oyster sauce.  Never tried it with goguchang... but now that I'm thinking, that would be delicious too.
Heat peanut or canola oil to smoking hot.  I like to do this outside on the grill.  Roll a small amount of filling onto eggroll wrappers and deep fry.  Drain on a baking sheet lined with newspapers.  Yum.

These freeze really, really well.  Just fry, cool, then freeze on a baking sheet.  Once they're solidly frozen you can put them into freezer bags.

Same idea for dumplings, you just use wonton wrappers and steam/panfry them instead.  I freeze these BEFORE cooking.

Both of these "recipes" take time initially, but since they make so much  you can freeze and have very easy convenient meals/snacks later.[/quote]
