Ingredients (serves 4):

For the pockets:

- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 1 cup of kimchi, chopped
- 1/2 cup of shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- Oil for frying

For the dipping sauce:

- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions

Cooking tips:

- Make sure to chop the kimchi and carrots finely to ensure that they fit inside the pockets.
- Use a small amount of cornstarch to seal the pockets shut.
- Fry the pockets in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the chopped kimchi, shredded carrots, chopped scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers and place a small spoonful of the kimchi mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal the pocket shut. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pockets to the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. While the pockets are frying, make the dipping sauce by mixing together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and chopped scallions in a small bowl.
6. Serve the pockets hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
