JAPANESE GYOZA



Japanese Gyoza image

This is a great recipe for Gyoza. It is a little time consuming to make, but oh so worth the effort. A gyoza press makes the job easier. It makes 100 gyoza. I make them all and freeze the others (uncooked)for another time. The dipping sauce is so tasty that you will tempted to get up in the middle of the night and stick your finger in for a little taste. MMmmmm!

  • Prepare the filling in advance: This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can make the filling up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Gyoza can be filled with all sorts of things, such as pork, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and tofu. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
  • Fold the gyoza carefully: The folds should be tight and secure, so that the filling doesn't leak out during cooking.
  • Cook the gyoza in a hot pan: This will help to create a crispy bottom and a tender filling.
  • Serve the gyoza with a dipping sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil is a classic choice.

Gyoza are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for something new to cook, give gyoza a try!
