Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and water. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine Nabak-Kimchi, ground pork, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Use a round cookie cutter or a dumpling mold to cut out circles.
4. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
5. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used up.
6. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
