Recipe for making "餃子" (gyoza) at home
"餃子" is a traditional dish of Japanese cuisine, loved for its deliciousness and convenience. Normally, one cooking session can make a large amount of gyoza, suitable for the whole family or a small party.
Making:
- Mix ground pork, white cabbage, garlic, ginger, onion, sesame oil, oyster sauce, cooking oil, soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. When mixing, knead and pound the meat until the mixture becomes viscous but not too sticky.
- Place a sheet of gyoza in your hand or on a small piece of wood. Place a small scoop of filling mixture in the center of the cake. Using a wet finger, touch the water around the edge of the gyoza. Fold the gyoza into a bear shape, starting from one edge and tapping the edges together. Seal tightly to ensure no air is caught between the edges.
- Continue this process for all gyoza sheets and filling mixture.
- To fry, put a little cooking oil in a large pan. Once the oil is hot, place the gyoza in the pan carefully, making sure they don't touch each other. Fry the gyoza until the bottom becomes golden brown.
- Once the bottom of the gyoza is crispy, add a little water to the pan and quickly cover it. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until the gyoza is cooked and the gyoza is soft.
- Open the lid and continue frying until the water completely evaporates and the gyoza become crispy and firm.
- Fry about 10-15 gyoza at a time to ensure they don't touch each other during the cooking process.
- Serve hot gyoza with gyoza dipping sauce or soy sauce, depending on taste.
