Thread: Gyoza Recipe

This is the recipe on how to make a common pan fried Japanese gyoza. I love to add gyoza in ramen noodles or simply steam them instead of frying. This is one of my favorites as well. Be reminded that this does not have nutritional information so don't eat too much of it.

Gyoza wrapper

If you want to make the wrapper yourself, it is made of eggs and wheat flour. Roll it into thin sheets and cut into rounds, about 3" in diameter.

If you want to buy them, Look for gyoza wrappers in specialty grocers or Asian markets. You may also ask for pot sticker wrappers, they are the same thing.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup chopped cabbage (boiled)
2 Tbsp chopped green onion
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
2 tsps soysauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
20 gyoza wrappers
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

For dipping sauce

soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot pepper oil

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients other than oil in a bowl and mix well by hands. Place a teaspoonful of filling in a gyoza wrapper and put water along the edge of the wrapper by fingers. Make a semicircle, gathering the front side of the wrapper and sealing the top. Heat oil in a frying pan. Put gyoza in the pan and fry on high heat until the bottoms become brown. Turn down the heat to low. Add 1/4 cup water in the pan. Cover the pan and steam the gyoza on low heat until the water is gone. Serve gyoza with dipping sauce on the side.

For the dipping sauce, mix a 1:2 ratio of soy sauce to rice vinegar and add some hot pepper oil if you would like.

Makes 4 servings.
