Sunday Snacks - Gyoza Recipe

Truth be told, my friend made this delish gyoza on one of our home gatherings. It was so delicious, I made myself the gyozas the following weekend.

I've meddled with the recipe from time to time and even added water chestnuts once because the NTUC aunty who was scanning my ingredients told me it was missing from the basket.

So what I now do these days, is make a whole huge batch of it and store it in the zip lock and freeze it. The recipe as follows:

240gm Minced Chicken

3 Shitake Mushroom, diced

150gm Cabbage, diced

2 stalks Chives, Chopped

2 stalks Spring Onions, Chopped

3 Garlic, Grated

1-inch Ginger, Grated

1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce

1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Gyoza Wrappers

Boil the Cabbage till it's slightly wilted, drain and put aside.

In a large bowl, mix chicken, mushrooms, chives, spring onions, garlic, ginger with soy sauce and sesame oil. Add black pepper. At this stage, I'll test-fry the meat to check the taste. Add more salt if needed.

If all is good, scoop a teaspoon of the mixed minced meat onto a sheet of gyoza. I normally have a dish of water while folding the gyozas. I'll encircle the gyoza with water after meat filling so that the gyoza skins will stick together.

After which, fold it to a semi-circle and pinch the ends of the semi-circle together, like a fan.

Grab a pan with a lid, pour in enough oil to Pan-fry the gyozas till brown.

Pour in a quarter cup water and close the lid. Let the hot steam cook the gyozas.

Viola!

PS: I added leftover breadcrumbs over mine to be a little bit extra.
