VEGETABLE GYOZA

Steps:

• First, start by making your dough. In a bowl, combine the flour with water and mix using a fork. Once it comes together, dust your work surface with flour. Now knead the dough until well combined, adding flour so it isn't sticky. This should take around 6/7 minutes. Roll the dough into a ball and set aside in a bowl covered with cling film.
• Now, chop and grate your vegetables. Add 1tsp oil into a pan and add the cabbage, carrot, mushrooms and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes on a low/medium heat. Once it looks cooked, add the soy sauce and sesame seeds ad stir. Now cook until the liquid has evaporated. Leave aside to cool
• Back to the dough. Place on your floured work surface and roll into a long sausage shape. Now cut into 18 individual portions. Put some water in a small bowl next to the dough, you will need this soon.
• Flour the surface well and add one piece of dough. Now roll out into a circle as thin as you can. Take the dough in your hand and spoon a small amount of the filling into the centre. Now for the water, wet the tip of a finger and dab it around one half of the edge. Then fold the other half over and pinch the edges together, you should end up with a semi circle shape. Place bottom down on the work surface to make a flat bottom, this will make a good base when frying.
• Heat a frying pan on a medium heat, make sure you have a lid that fits the pan. Add 1tsp of oil to the frying pan and then place the gyoza in one at a time to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the base is nice and brown. Now, add some water to the frying pan and cover with the lid immediately. Steam for 3-4 minutes. Serve with some dipping sauce. I love sweet chilli sauce with these!

GYOZA

Steps:

• Grind the pork belly using a meat grinder if you have one, or chop well with a chef's knife (do not use a food processor, which will turn the meat into a paste). Combine in a large bowl with the ground pork and refrigerate.
• To make the sprouts, combine the mustard powder, water, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in a bowl, mix well, and set aside.
• In a pot over high heat, bring 4 cups water and the salt to a boil. Add the bean sprouts. Remove from the heat when the water returns to a boil and the sprouts have floated to the surface. Drain through a fine-mesh strainer and combine with the mustard sauce. Set aside.
• To make the dipping sauce, whisk together all the ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To make the filling, remove the stems from the cabbage leaves a by cutting a long V shape along the sides of the stems and discard. Arrange the leaves in a pile and cut into thirds lengthwise, then turn horizontally and cut into 1/8-inch-thick pieces. Mix well with 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt in a mixing bowl and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes (the salt will draw out the excess moisture in the cabbage).
• Meanwhile, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the counter and grate the peeled ginger over it. Pull up the sides of the plastic around the pile of ginger to create a small packet. Poke a small hole in the bottom of the packet with the tip of a knife and gently squeeze over a clean bowl to gather the ginger juices; continue squeezing until you have extracted 1 tablespoon of liquid. Mix with the chicken stock, sake, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Use a clean towel to wrap one-third of the cabbage and squeeze over the sink to drain, then place the cabbage on a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining cabbage. Roughly chop the drained cabbage and combine with the garlic chives, scallions, and grated garlic in a bowl.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator and mix well by hand until sticky, being careful to work quickly so the pork doesn't become warm. Slowly mix in the seasoned chicken stock. Once it is well combined, mix in the cabbage, sugar, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper.
• To assemble, lay a gyoza skin on the counter. Place 1 scant tablespoon of the filling in the center. Using your index finger, run a thin layer of water along half of the inner rim and press both sides together to create a tight seal, forming the shape of a half circle. Make four tucks along the edge of the dumpling and set upright on a plate or baking sheet to create a flat bottom. Repeat with the remaining gyoza skins and filling.
• To cook, place a medium nonstick sauté pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Add 8 to 10 gyoza to the pan, flat side down. When the bottoms have caramelized, in 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, add 1/4 cup of the water and cover with a lid. Decrease the heat to medium and cook, covered, until the water has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover the pan and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil on the gyoza and continue to cook until the bottoms become crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the gyoza to a serving platter with the browned side on display. Repeat with the remaining gyoza, water, and oil.
• To serve, arrange 5 gyoza on an appetizer plate with the browned side facing up. Place 1/3 cup of the mustard bean sprouts next to the gyoza and serve with 2 tablespoons of the dipping sauce in a cup.

GYOZA

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, cabbage, ginger and garlic in a food processor, and whizz to a fine mix (or finely chop by hand).
• Add the water chestnuts and pulse to chop, but not too finely - these will add a nice crunchy texture. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sake, sesame oil and a pinch of salt, and whizz again.
• Tip the ingredients into a bowl and add the minced pork or chicken. Mix by hand until well combined. Chill until ready to use.
• Have a pot of water to hand. Sprinkle the cornflour onto a plate. To assemble the gyoza, hold the dumpling skin in the palm of one hand and put a heaped teaspoon of the filling onto the centre of the skin.
• Dip your finger in the water and wipe around the edge of the skin - this will moisten it and help the edges stick together.
• Bring the edges of the skin together. Pinch pleats along one side, then press each pleat against the opposite flat side of the skin. With each pinch make sure that you are sealing the parcel and keeping the filling in the centre. Put each gyoza onto the plate dusted with cornflour. Can be covered with cling film and chilled for up to 8 hrs.
• Cook the gyoza in batches. Heat a non-stick frying pan with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Brush off any excess cornflour from the bases of the dumplings. Fry the gyoza on one side only - don't turn them over, you just want one crispy side. They should be golden brown after about 2 mins.
• Add a good splash of water to the pan and cover with a steaming lid or a large sheet of foil with a few holes poked in the top. Cook over a medium heat for 3-5 mins until the water has evaporated and the gyoza filling is cooked through. Set aside while you cook the rest.
• Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients and serve alongside the dumplings in dipping bowls. You can serve with both or just one dipping sauce.
