How to make delicious Vegetable Gyoza with tofu and a dipping sauce

Vegetable Gyoza with Tofu

Tofu

Cabbage

Mushroom (any kind

Spring onion

chive

garlic

ginger paste

tsp black pepper

tsp Sake

Sesame oil

tbsp Soy sauce

32 Premade gyoza wrappers

water

tbsp Vegetable oil

tbsp Sesame oil

tbsp Rice Vinegar

tsp Soy sauce

tsp Chilli oil

tsp Ground black pepper

Roughly cut 100g of cabbage, 50g mushrooms, 30g spring onion, 20g chives and put them in a food processor with 1 garlic clove, 1 tsp ginger paste, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp sake, 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Blend until finely cut (not a paste). If you don't have a food processor, you can just finely dice everything by hand but of course it takes longer.

Drain the liquid out of the packaged tofu and add it to the box of finely diced vegetables.

Crumble the tofu by hand and gently mix it in with the vegetables.

TO MAKE THE FILLING

Prepare a small bowl of water and a large plate dusted with flour.

Take your gyoza wrapper in the palm of your hand and use a teaspoon to spread a thin layer of the filling onto the middle of the wrapper, leaving a finger width gap all the way around the edge. Be careful not to overfill the gyoza otherwise you won’t be able to seal it!

Using your empty hand, dip a finger in the water and wet down one half of the edge, this acts like a glue to bond the edges when pressed together.

Carefully fold the gyoza but don’t let the edges touch yet. Pinch the corner of the semi circle shape, and then using your thumbs, fold a small pleat and press it down.

Continue pleating and pressing each fold all the way along the semi circle shape until the gyoza is completely sealed.

Put your completed gyoza onto a flour dusted plate and repeat. It might take a few tries but you’ll soon get the hang of it!

FORMING THE GYOZA

First, mix 50ml of warm water and 1 tsp flour to make a slurry.

Heat your non-stick pan on medium and add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil.

Carefully place your gyoza into the pan one by one with the flat side facing down and touching the base. Fry until it starts to turn brown.

Pour your flour/water slurry into the pan, making sure everything is covered. Put the lid on and allow the slurry to completely evaporate, creating a crispy layer around the gyoza.

While the slurry is evaporating make your sauce. Mix 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp chilli oil and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper in a shallow bowl.

Once all of the slurry is evaporated, take off the lid and drizzle with 1 tbsp of sesame oil.

Flip them all onto a plate together and serve with the dipping sauce!

COOKING THE GYOZA

Crispy Pan Fried Japanese Gyoza Dumplings (餃子)

Pork mince

Ginger paste

Garlic paste

Spring onion (about half of 1 stalk)

Chives

Salt

tsp Soy sauce

tsp Oyster sauce

Ground black pepper

tbsp Sesame oil OR lard

Sugar

Premade gyoza wrappers

flour

tbsp Vegetable oil

tbsp Rice Vinegar

tsp Chilli oil

tsp Ground black pepper

First, dice up 70g of spring onion as small as you can.

Cut the chives into 5mm slices and put them in a separate bowl. You can use a knife or scissors, whichever you prefer.

Add the pork mince, 1 and 1/2 tsp ginger paste, 1 and 1/2 tsp garlic paste, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, a pinch of black pepper and the spring onions into a large bowl.

Using your hands (or you can wear disposable plastic gloves) knead the flavours into the mince. The mince will become almost like a paste.

Next, add the warm water one third at a time (so about 15-20ml) and keep kneading until all the water is in.

Finally add 1 tbsp of lard (or sesame oil) and the chives you chopped earlier.

Knead one last time to make sure all the ingredients are evenly spread throughout the mince.

To make the filling

Take your gyoza wrapper in the palm of your hand and use a knife to spread a thin layer of the filling onto the middle of the wrapper, leaving a finger width gap all the way around the edge. Be careful not to overfill the gyoza otherwise you won't be able to seal it!

Carefully fold the gyoza but don't let the edges touch yet. Pinch the corner of the semi circle shape, and then using your thumbs, fold a small pleat and press it down.

Put your completed gyoza onto a flour dusted plate and repeat. It might take a few tries but you'll soon get the hang of it!

Cooking the Gyoza

These were so so delicious, the crispy bottom was just perfect! Really easy recipe to follow and the veggie ones came out just as tasty! The homemade wrappers are a complete game changer as well, so much better than the pre-made ones! Will be making these again and again!

Japanese Gyoza with Dipping Sauce Recipe (餃子)

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Gyoza (餃子, gyōza) are dumplings filled with ground meat and vegetables and wrapped in a thin dough. Also known as pot stickers, gyoza originated in China (where they are called jiaozi), but have become a very popular dish in Japan. The typical gyoza filling consists of ground pork, nira chives, green onion, cabbage, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil, but some creative gyoza shops have also come up with a range of other fillings. For this recipe we will not use Teriyaki sauce, although, you are free to add it. It's mouthwateringly delicious, but may take some practice.
