Gyoza Love
Ok Here is the Gyoza!
- Gyoza Wrappers (or dumpling wrappers, we get them at Target in the veggie/regridgerated section)
- 1/2 head of cabbage finley shredded
- 2 1/2 tsp salt
- 1lb ground pork
- 1/2 bunch of chives (or garlic chives) finley chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of good soy sauce
- 2 tsp of garlic salt or garlic powder
- 2-3 cloves (depending on size) of crushed garlic
- 1 tablespoon of Asian sesame oil
- 1 tsp of hot chili oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh grated ginger (peeled)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of Sake
- 1 1/2 tablespoon of potato flour
- Sesame oil, Vegetable oil and water or chicken broth for frying
Place cabbage in a bowl and add salt, allow to sit for a min or two then squeeze all the water out of the cabbage with your hands. (the salt draws the moister out of the cabbage)-
Place the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix until well combined (I find mixing with my hands works best) -
Place the wrapper down on a cutting board and place approx. 1 tsp of filling in the middle, bring one side of the wrapper to meet the other side, then make 4-5 "Pleats" to close the wrapper. You may need to use a tad of water or chicken broth to help adhere the wrapper. -
In a non stick fry pan over med-high heat, place 2 tablespoons of veg. oil, and a couple dashes of sesame oil. -
Place gyoza in pan close together and let cook for about 2 min (bottoms should be browned) -
Add water or chicken broth to the pan until it reaches half way up the side of the Gyoza. Cover and cook until all liquid has evaporated.
I serve this with my own special sauce, I don't know the measurements as I usually wing it, but here are the ingredients:
-
Good Soy Sauce (about 2 cups) -
Hot Chili oil (just a few dashes) -
Rice Wine Vinegar (I would say about 1-2 tablespoons) -
2 cloves of fresh garlic crushed -
Sesame oil (about 2 tablespoons) -
Dice green onion
Whisk this really good with a fork It's SO good!!
I hope you enjoy!
