Yield 50 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 packet 50 gyoza wrappers
Filling:
1/8 cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
400 g lean pork or chicken
1/2 bunch garlic chives, finely chopped
4 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water and finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil, plus 2 teaspoons extra, for cooking
Pinch of salt
Dipping sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
La-yu (Japanese chilli oil), optional

Steps:

  • Dice cabbage finely and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Give it a bit of a massage. Leave for 10-15 minutes and then squeeze with your hands to remove any moisture.
  • With your hands thoroughly mix together cabbage, ground meat, chives, mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and pinch of salt.
  • Dry your hands completely (or wrappers will stick). Place a gyoza wrapper on one hand and put 1 teaspoon filling in centre of wrapper.
  • Brush edge of half the wrapper with cold water. Make a semi-circle by folding the wrapper in half. Pinch open sides of wrapper together with your fingers and seal the top.
  • Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil and arrange 20-25 gyoza in pan. Add 200ml water to cover bottom of pan, cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes or until translucent, cooked and no liquid is left in pan. Take off lid and cook for another 30-60 seconds for the bottoms to go crunchy. Cook remaining gyoza or freeze them.
  • Mix together soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil, if using. Serve gyoza hot with dipping sauce.

The gyoza were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices to the filling next time.

The gyoza were delicious, but they were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

These gyoza were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought gyoza wrapper and the filling was simple to prepare. They were a big hit with my family.

I'm not usually a fan of gyoza, but these were delicious! The pork and vegetable filling was moist and flavorful, and the wrappers were crispy and chewy.
