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.

These gyoza were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out soggy and tasteless.

The wrappers were too thick. I think I'll try using a thinner wrapper next time.

The gyoza were a bit bland. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

These gyoza were a little too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

These gyoza are the perfect party appetizer. They're easy to make ahead of time and can be served hot or cold.

The gyoza were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought dumpling wrapper to save time.

I've made gyoza before, but this recipe was by far the best. The dumplings were so light and fluffy, and the filling was perfectly seasoned.

These gyoza were absolutely delicious! The filling was flavorful and juicy, and the wrappers were perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
