Meat-free Chickpea Gyoza

After I became a vegetarian, I had not eaten gyoza. I was wondering if I could make them without meat, and I thought chickpeas may work. The result was good and satisfying.
You may be able to use soy beans but chickpeas have a delicious, natural sweetness to them. I thought chickpeas would be better. The quantities in the list are quite rough so adjust to your taste. Recipe by Saishokubeginnernano

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preparation: Soak 30 g of chickpeas in water overnight. Cook in a pressure cooker until tender (about 5 minutes after the level of the pressure is reached). At this point, the chickpeas weigh about 100 g or less.
- 2
Chop the cabbage (or Chinese cabbage) and onion. Sprinkle over salt (not listed) and mix lightly. Leave to sit until wilted and softened. Chop the cores.
- 3
Meanwhile mash the Step 1 chick peas. It's alright if there are some inconsistencies remaining.
- 4
Put the cabbage from Step 2 and the onion into a colander and rinse with running water. Squeeze the moisture out (after draining).
- 5
Mix Step 4 and the mashed chick peas in a bowl. Combine the mixture with your chopsticks. Add the ● seasonings and mix with your hands. Check the taste and adjust the seasonings.
- 6
Divide the mixture into portions that are 1 tablespoon or less. Shape into small balls (there should be 12). Wrap each filling with gyoza wrappers.
- 7
Heat the grape seed oil in a frying pan (or vegetable oil) and arrange the gyoza. Fry over medium heat.
- 8
After the bottom of the gyoza are golden brown, pour in enough water to fill the pan up to half the height of the gyoza. Cover with a lid and continue to cook over a high heat until the water has evaporated completely. This takes about 5 minutes.
- 9
Uncover the lid and drizzle with sesame oil (move around the frying pan to distribute the oil all over). Turn off the heat and it's done!

Veggie-Packed Healthy Gyoza Veggie-Packed Healthy Gyoza
This is a modification to a gyoza recipe that my mother taught me. You can steam-cook these gyoza before browning them in the frying pan if you'd prefer.You can naturally just use 1 pack of gyoza skins and reduce the amounts of all the other ingredients by half. Still, I think it's more convenient to make more than you need and store some in the freezer for later.These gyoza dumplings will taste best if you use ground meat that's richly marbled.

[Meat-Free] Pan-fried Gyoza with Kiriboshi Daikon [Meat-Free] Pan-fried Gyoza with Kiriboshi Daikon
When I ate 'Oyaki with kiriboshi- daikon' on my business trip, I was very impressed how tasty they were. After I came back home, I tried to recreate them. I was also inspired by Mirurun-san who is an expert of kiriboshi daikon. I think I will be mad about kiriboshi daikon from now.This recipe's gyoza is well seasoned. They are vegetable gyozas, so you can season them more lightly using less strong tasting vegetables or seasonings, if you prefer. If you don't have any Wei-pa or fish sauce, use Chinese chicken stock granules or soy sauce instead. Recipe by YASHIGANI cookpad.japan -

My family often makes vegetable gyoza, but these meat gyoza are just as common. Check out "Chicken & Shiso Gyoza",& "Vegetable-Packed Gyoza",as well.Please adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. After heating and oiling the pan, please remove it from the heat. If you don't do this then the gyoza will start cooking as you're arranging them in the pan and they'll be unevenly cooked. So please make sure to only return the pan to the heat after all of the gyoza are inside it. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 cookpad.japan -

Juicy & Crispy Meat Gyoza Dumplings Juicy & Crispy Meat Gyoza Dumplings
I saw a similar recipe in a magazine. In that recipe, the gyoza didn't have garlic, garlic chives or oyster sauce but was seasoned with Chinese chicken stock powder and doubled amount of Japanese leek. I prefer my seasonings on the strong side (though I try not to have it on the day before my massage appointments).The top photo shows how I fried 20 gyoza in one go, so you can't see the gyoza wings very well. Even if you don't make the wings, the bottoms will be crispy and good. If you want to gyoza wings, make 2 lines of 5 in the frying pan and fry in two batches. In that case, double the amount of flour dissolved in water.You might see lump-free (no-sift) flour sold in shops, so if you get hold of that, you can just dissolve it in water instead of hot water. For 20, using large-sized gyoza skins. Recipe by demel_chocola cookpad.japan -

This is just a recipe that I came up with on a whim.Even a mix of thigh and breast meat would taste delicious in these gyoza. If you use just chicken breast instead of chicken thigh, the gyoza will taste a bit firmer. This recipe uses a lot of meat. You can reduce the amount of meat and increase the amount of vegetables if you'd prefer. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 cookpad.japan -
