Kiss Approved Japanese Gyoza Dumplings
Fresh coriander and ginger Gyoza dumplings. Perfect for Bento box too! 20 dumplings for 2 people. If this is your first try, put slightly less filling for each wrap for easy wrapping.
Servings: 2
Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
Ingredients
For wrappers (easy if you can get pre-made)
For the Filling
- 250 grams minced pork
- 1 bunch coriander
- 2 pieces ginger grated or finely chopped
for seasonings
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- 2 tsp soy source
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil
for frying
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Trim off the roots of the coriander and finely chop it.
- In a bowl, mix ground pork with the seasonings, grated or finely chopped ginger, and chopped coriander, mixing well until sticky. Maybe good idea to wear plastic gloves.
- On each dumpling wrapper, place about 1 tablespoon of filling towards the centre. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges together, pleating as you go. Let's aim to make 20 dumplings in total.
- Heat sesame oil (or any cooking oil) in a frying pan over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the pan and cook until they develop a golden crust. Then, add 70-80ml of water, cover with a lid, and steam-fry for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered until the excess moisture evaporates and the dumpling skins become crispy.
Notes
Unlike typical dumplings, this recipe's filling is already seasoned, but it's delicious with soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil added to taste. Enjoy!
