Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings)

These are an incredibly flexible dish, which can be served as a starter or as part of a main course. The ingredients can be easily changed depending upon what you have available or what you are in the mood for. In this recipe I used prawns (shrimp) but this can be easily swapped out for another filling like tofu or pork. I used a pre-made pack of dumpling wrappers which you can buy in any asian supermarket.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If you have bought frozen dumpling wrappers make sure you remember to thaw them out / defrost them ahead of time.
- 2
Shred your cabbage and onions in a blender.
- 3
Take your prawns and squeeze as much of the moisture out as possible with some paper towels. Then shred them in a blender.
- 4
Add the shredded ingredients to a large bowl.
- 5
Finely chop and add the coriander.
- 6
Finely chopped and add garlic. Also add your seasoning and spices.
- 7
Add some seasame oil, enough so that you can mix the filling together into a paste.
- 8
Take a single dumpling wrapper and put a heaped teaspoon in the middle.
- 9
Wet your finger in the water and dampen the exposed bottom half of the wrapper.
- 10
Fold the wrapper in two and pleat across, making sure you apply enough pressure so that the edges stick.
- 11
When you have finished preparing the dumplings, heat some sesame oil in a pan. Then fry until the bottom of each dumpling is golden brown.
- 12
Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and cover. Leave until all the water has evaporated. The dumpling should look nice and moist - if they are still a little on the hard/dry side just add a bit more water.
- 13
I like to serve them with soy sauce, chilli sauce and some crumbled roasted peanuts.

Addictive Chicken Wing Gyoza Dumplings Addictive Chicken Wing Gyoza Dumplings
They used to sell frozen chicken wing dumplings, but they stopped stocking them in my neighborhood stores, so I took on the challenge!Only a little filling is needed, so you can make these when you have some filling left over from a previous gyoza dumpling batch.It's a bit of a bother if the bones break during cooking. When breaking the joints, hold the chicken in the middle and twist.You can eat them as-is, but the dumplings are also great dipped in a little ponzu sauce.You can do everything up to Step 6 the day before.

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 -
Easy Steamed Shrimp and Edamame Gyoza Dumplings Easy Steamed Shrimp and Edamame Gyoza Dumplings
I created this recipe because shrimp was on sale.When you leave the dumplings on a plate for a long time, the liquid comes out. The dumpling skins will stick to the plate, and they might break, so please steam them shortly after wrapping. If you make the dumpling skins from scratch, dumplings will become more chewy and plump.

Juicy Pan-fried Gyoza Dumplings Juicy Pan-fried Gyoza Dumplings
I aimed for simple yet juicy gyoza dumplings. A Chinese friend of mine boils, chops and squeezes the Chinese cabbage, adds it to the filling, and then adds quite a lot of water too. So I wondered if you could just use the moisture in the vegetables and I started experimenting.The key is to cook (or quick-freeze) the dumplings as soon as they're filled. The filling is rather watery, so if they leak, the dumplings burn easily. Be sure to secure the dumplings securely! This is a little trick - the ground pork and egg are very cold right out of the refrigerator and it's painful, so take them out at the same time you take out the vegetables to warm up a bit. For 20 large gyoza dumplings. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki cookpad.japan -
Juicy Cabbage Gyoza Dumplings (Lightly Seasoned) Juicy Cabbage Gyoza Dumplings (Lightly Seasoned)
I've seen gyoza dumpling filling recipes with miso, green onion, ginger and so on, but I was never quite happy with the change in flavor and fragrance. I wanted to make simple, pure cabbage gyoza dumplings... Chinese cabbage is sweeter, but it doesn't suit me. It took me 4 years to get to this recipe. But... I'm still not totally satisfied. I'm really into searching for the perfect gyoza filling formula. We make about 100 large gyoza dumplings at a time in our family, but the 4 of us eat them all up.Attention: These dumplings are lightly flavored.1. Decide on the amount of sesame oil used depending on the color of the ground pork. If it's white, use less... adjust depending on if you want the flavor to be richer or lighter.2. Make sure to crush the garlic before adding it. The fragrance is totally different. If you keep the cooking liquid after making nibuta (simmered pork), you'll have lard. If you add this lard to your filling, it will be even richer. Adjust the amount of sesame oil if you add lard. For 125 dumplings (or 100 large size ones). Recipe by Nyanyadeko cookpad.japan -
