Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the chives and cabbage. (I usually buy pre-chopped vegetables for gyoza.) Mix all the ◆ seasonings together in a bowl.
- 2
Add the ◆ seasoning mixture to the ground pork and mix well. (The mixture may seem soft, but the vegetables will absorb the moisture.) Then add all the ☆ ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- 3
Fill and fold the gyoza wrappers with the filling. For any you don't plan to cook right away, wrap them in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag to freeze.
- 4
Heat oil in a skillet and arrange the gyoza in the pan. Add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the gyoza. Cover and steam over medium heat until cooked through.
- 5
When most of the water has evaporated, drizzle a little sesame oil (not included in ingredient list) around the pan and cook until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown.
- 6
For any leftover filling, scoop with a spoon and boil to make meatballs. Freeze these for baby food. If you freeze them with some of the cooking liquid, they won't dry out when reheated.

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.

How to Cook Crispy and Juicy Gyoza Dumplings! How to Cook Crispy and Juicy Gyoza Dumplings!
I learned this cooking method when I was working in a restaurant.The gyoza dumplings will not stick as much to the pan if you heat it up first and then add the oil. Using a non-stick pan is the best way to go. The gyoza will become soggy if you use too much water, but they will burn before they have cooked halfway through if you use too little water, so it's important to determine the correct amount. You will not fail as long as you remember these tips. Recipe by GermanMama cookpad.japan -

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
