Well, with our homemade dumpling recipe, we’re bringing that warm, fuzzy feeling right to your very own kitchen table.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the warm water and mix until well-combined.

Roll out dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth.

Roll out 1 piece of dough into a thin log and divide into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the size of dumplings you want. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Lightly flour the dough pieces and roll out 1 piece into a thin circle roughly 4-inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Keep the dumpling wrappers separated with a small piece of parchment paper and repeat with the remaining dough.

Combine the cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix until well-incorporated.

For the pork filling, combine the ground pork with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the pepper and 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the veggie filling, combine the mushrooms and carrot and microwave for 3 minutes, until soft. Add 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the shrimp filling, combine the shrimp with 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

To assemble the dumplings, add roughly 1 heaping tablespoon of filling to the center of a dumpling wrapper. With your finger, lightly coat half of the outside of the wrapper with water. Fold the moistened half of the wrapper over the filling and, using your fingers, pleat the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining fillings and wrappers.

Heat the oil over medium high in a large skillet and add a few dumplings, cooking them in batches. Once the bottoms of the dumplings start to brown, add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked and the water has evaporated. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess moisture or grease.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper flakes and stir to combine. Serve the dumplings immediately with the dipping sauce.

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

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!
