Pan Fried Gyoza 焼き餃子 Yaki Gyoza


Gyoza (餃子) is of Chinese origin but most Japanese restaurants would have this on their menu. These dumplings are almost identical to the Chinese Jiaozi which I posted a few months back.To read more about that click HERE. This is a great dish to conclude our Japanese week as we will move west to where the dish came from, so stay tuned. 
P.S Please feel free to add prawns, shitake mushroom or Chinese cabbage for different variations.

Makes 40 dumplings
you'll need;
500 g of minced chicken or pork
a cup of chopped Chinese chives 
1 egg, beated
4 garlic cloves, grated
5 cm knob of ginger, grated
1 tbs of Japanese soy
dash of cooking sake
salt to taste
Jiaozi or gyoza wrappers

for the dipping sauce;
2 tbs of Japanese soy
1 tbs of rice vinegar
1 tbs of layu 辣油 click HERE 

Place mince, egg, seasonings and chopped chives in a bowl and mix well.

Place a little filling on a piece of wrapper.

Brush a little water on the edge of the wrapper and fold it over.

Make some attractive pleats (optional)

Add a tbs of oil in a hot pan. Arrange dumplings and let it cook for 30 seconds.

Add boiling water and cover. Cook on low heat til water almost evaporate. 

Remove lid and cook on high heat for a minute, dumplings will start to crisp up.

Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Very delicious indeed!

  8. I love gyoza but I prefer the original guotie or as I know the, wor tip. Great dip too although I prefer just vinegar. Great recipe as always with the Chinese chives as the key ingredient.

  16. Perfect dumpling heaven. Not sure my pleats would be that attractive!

  17. I have no idea this is so easy to make. Must look for some chinese chives and dumpling wrappers. Can I use spring onions if chives are not available?

    ReplyDelete
  18. That looks amazing. I could definitely attempt that. Yum. Thanks.
