How to make gyoza

Ingredient

Filling

10 oz (290 g) ground pork 2-3 (140 g, 5 oz) cabbage leaves 1-2 (15 g, 0.5 oz) green onion/scallion 2 shiitake mushrooms 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tsp. grated gingerSeasonings

Tbsp. sake Tbsp. sesame oil 1 tsp. soy sauce tsp. salt Freshly ground black pepperDipping Sauce

1 Tbsp. rice vinegar 1 Tbsp. soy sauce tsp. La-Yu (Japanese chili oil) (optional)Steps

1 Prepare the ingredients. Chop the chives and cabbage. Peel and devein the shrimp, and grate

your ginger and garlic.

2 Combine the pork, shrimp, cabbage, ginger, garlic, salt, white pepper, and the oils into a large

bowl.

3 Mix everything together well with your hands, making sure the mixture isn't lumpy or uneven.

Place the bowl into the refrigerator, and then leave it for about 10 minutes.

4 Take a gyoza wrapper and place a small spoonful of the mixture in the middle. Dab a little

water on one half of the wrapper's edge and securely fold in two to make a semi or half circle.

While folding, pinch the two sides together like a Ziploc bag and create waves while pinching.

Repeat this step for all the wrappers. This is called "crimping", the way to seal up the edges of

the dumpling.

5 Oil and heat a skillet on the stove. Put it on medium heat and carefully drop a few dumplings

into the skillet at a time, but be sure not to overload the skillet with everything.

Wrap them in colored papers and gift to family and friends. You can add crushed nuts of your choice. You can add 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence at the time of adding butter. Alternately, 2 tsps of

strong coffee mixture can be added. If using cinnamon, add 1/4 tsp to the cocoa-milk mixture and sieve. To check for one string consistency of sugar syrup - allow the sugar to dissolve in water.

Continue to cook the syrup on low flame. It will begin to thicken. When you touch the

syrup between your forefinger and thumb, a thin string will form and it should not break.

If it breaks, the syrup should simmer for a little while longer.
