How To Make Gyoza Dumplings

Step : You will need

Step 1: Chop and Grate

First ready the ingredients. Chop boiled Napa cabbage, Chinese chives, and peeled and deveined shrimp. Finely grate a teaspoon each of ginger... and garlic.

Step 2: Combine The Ingredients

Now combine the chopped cabbage, Chinese chives, pork, shrimp, garlic and ginger into a large bowl. Add a pinch or two of salt and white pepper and a tablespoon each of sesame oil and vegetable oil for additional flavor.

Step 3: Mix Thoroughly

Mix thoroughly with your hands for a minute or two. Once mixed, place in refrigerator for about ten minutes to cool.

Step 4: Wrap The Gyoza

After the ingredients have chilled, it's time to wrap the dumplings. Put about a spoonful of the vegetables, pork and shrimp mix onto each skin. Moisten one half of the goyza skin with a little water and then fold it in two, making a semicircle. Pinch the two sides together, sealing the skin all the way across. Let's see that again.

Step 5: Time To Cook

Dumplings are cooked by pan-frying, then steaming. Here's how to do it. Pre-heat the skillet under high heat with a little vegetable oil. Once the skillet is hot, reduce the heat to medium, and place a few dumplings in the skillet. Be sure not to overload the skillet. After about two minutes, lower the heat and add one half a cup of water, and cover. When the water has boiled off, uncover and remove from the stovetop.

Step 6: Wait & Serve

Serve the dumplings hot with either soy sauce or gyoza dipping sauce. To make a great gyoza sauce, simple mix two tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of hot pepper oil. With or without sauce, you will find these dumplings delicious. Enjoy.
