Best 2 Shrimp Gyoza Recipes

PORK AND SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the shrimp, pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic, egg whites, ginger, green onions and lemon juice. Process until partly smooth but not completely pureed (it should have a little texture).
• Hold a wonton wrapper in your hand. Dip a tablespoon measure in cold water and then scoop 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of a wrapper (dipping the spoon in cold water first will make the filling come off easier). Lightly moisten the edge of the wrapper with some water and fold over to form a half moon. Holding the edge in your hands, crimp and pinch around wrapper to create a fluted edge. Flatten the bottom so that the edge is facing upwards. Repeat for the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the gyoza flat-side down to the pan, and cook until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1/4 cup water. Return the pan to the heat and cover with a lid. Remove the lid and cook until the water evaporates and the gyoza are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.

SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• Defrost and shell shrimp, then boil.
• Once shrimp is cooked, chop the shrimp and scallions, grate the ginger, and combine them with the garlic, sesame oil, rice wine and egg white in a bowl.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoons of filling onto each wrapper until there is no more filling.
• Fold over your wrapper and press together the edges, wetting them first, and crimping them as you go.
• Put the gyoza on a baking sheet and freeze in freezer for 20 minute.
• Remove gyoza and place them in a pan in rows. fill pan with about 1/2 inch water. Top with a lid and allow to boil until there is barely any water left (time will vary.).
• When the water is very low, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, and fry gyoza til bottoms are brown and crispy (but not burnt!).
• Scoop gyoza out with a spatula and serve!
