Japanese Food Series: Part2 - GyozasteemCreated with Sketch.

in #food7 years ago

Crispy, meaty, juicy, salty and sometimes spicy. A gyoza is all of these things and always soul satisfying.


I love all kinds of dumplings but gyoza hold a special place in my heart. It was my wife that introduced me to this delicious dish. We would go to an Izakaya after work and devour plates of gyoza and many other dishes. This dish and a some beer made all the day's challenges a distant memory! Gyoza are great at lunchtime with a bowl of ramen or for a late night snack with drinks. Really anytime is gyoza time!


Ingredients

  1. 1 pound of ground pork
  2. 2 cups of shredded cabbage, lightly steamed and dried
  3. 3 Scallions minced
  4. 1 Tablespoon Ginger minced
  5. 1 Tablespoon Garlic minced
  6. 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  7. 2 teaspoons sugar
  8. 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  9. 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
  10. Gyoza Skins
  11. Egg Wash


Method

  1. Mix ingredients #1 to #9 together in a bowl.
  2. Place around 2 teaspoons of filling into a gyoza skin and brush the edge with egg wash.
  3. Fold the gyoza with a pleat pattern. Continue until they are all filled.
  4. Heat a pan on medium high heat with a thin layer of oil. Non-Stick pans are great for beginners.
  5. Place the gyoza into the pan and cook for one minute.
  6. Add a cup of water to the pan and cover and steam the dumplings for three minutes.
  7. Remove the lid and let all the water evaporate out of the pan.
  8. Let the gyoza sizzle in the pan for 30 seconds and then turn off the heat.
  9. Place a plate upside down on top of the dumplings. Carefully flip the pan and plate with one hand on the plate. You will have the gyoza beautifully presented on the plate with the crispy side up.
  10. Serve with the dipping sauce.


Dipping Sauce and Chili Pepper

  1. 1/8 Cup Soy Sauce
  2. 1/8 Cup Rice Vinegar
  3. 1 Teaspoon Sesame oil
  4. Ichimi Togarashi

Method

  1. Mix ingredients #1 to #3 together
  2. I you like you can also add minced ginger or scallion to the sauce
  3. And Serve a small amount of Ichicmi Tigarashi on the side for a spicy kick.

You are really enjoying life! Fishing in Alaska and jumping behind the bar!

I can't decide if I like fried or steamed gyoza better. But either way I know your version was probably so delicious!

Thank you for the kind words! I like them fried!

Ah, looks so yum! You've got the folding technique down pat!

Thank you! My wife taught me that!
