The BEST Gyoza Recipe (Japanese Potstickers / Pan-Fried Dumplings) | Japanese Cooking Video

Delicious juicy fried dumplings!




This is a very basic and the best recipe for Yaki Gyoza (Japanese Pan-Fried Dumplings) to start with! When we pan fry the Gyoza, we call it Yaki Gyoza. Steamed = Mushi Gyoza, Boiled = Sui Gyoza.


In this video I will show you how to make the very basic gyoza filling and how to fold them 😉


You can customize this basic recipe using different ingredients.


Gyoza is originally the Chinese potstickers, now very popular in Japan 💕 My mom used to make them once a month or more because we kids like them! Perfect batch side dish for rice 😋


You can of course keep them in stock in the freezer. However, most of the time, they can be easily gone all at once. haha

THIS VIDEO will show you how to make Gyoza Wrappers!

How to Make Gyoza (Very Basic Japanese Potstickers / Pan-Fried Dumplings)


Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20min
Number of servings: 14 big dumplings or 24 small dumplings

Ingredients:
1 leaf (100g=3.5oz.) Chinese cabbage
A
* 250g (8.8oz.) ground pork
* 1/2 chopped long onion
* 1 clove chopped garlic
* 1 tbsp. sesame oil
* 1 tsp. soy sauce
* ground black pepper
14 big gyoza wrappers
cooking oil
soy sauce
vinegar
la-yu / raayu (Chinese spicy sauce) if preferred

Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot. Add Chinese cabbage from the stem end and boil for about one minute. Drain and soak in cold water (or use running water) to cool. Squeeze to remove the excess water (can use a paper towel), then finely chop.
2. Put the chopped Chinese cabbage and A in a bowl. Mix well by hand (or back of a spoon is okay) until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.
3. Lay gyoza wrapper in your palm and put a spoonful of filling in the center. Put water along the edge of the wrapper with your finger, fold in half, make small folds in the front side of the wrapper and seal.
4. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan. Put the gyoza in and cook on high heat until the bottoms become brown. Turn the heat down to medium, add 50ml water (or about 1/3 of their hight), cover and steam the gyoza on med-high until done. Uncover and cook on high until the water is gone and the bottoms of the gyoza are crisp.
5. Serve with a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and a drop or two of la-yu if preferred.

Of course, it goes great with white rice! Perfect for bento, too!
But I prefer no garlic but ginger for bento ;)

Sorry my drawing is awful…

---------------------------------
HALLOWEEN Frankenstein Matcha Green Tea Pound Cake

Difficulty: Medium
Time: 2hrs
Number of servings: 1 loaf

Necessary Equipment:
18×8cm (7x3inch) loaf pan

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) unsalted butter *room temperature
80g (2.8oz.) granulated sugar
2 eggs *room temperature
2 tbsp. soymilk or milk
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
A
* 120g (4.2oz.) cake flour
* 1&1/2 tbsp. matcha green tea powder
* 1/2 tsp. baking powder
chocolate pens *you can draw 2 Frankensteins with 1 pen

Directions:
1. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Mix A and sift them together if you have time.
2. Cream the butter in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Add 80g (2.8oz.) granulated sugar little by little and mix well.
3. Separate egg whites and egg yolks. Add the egg yolks one by one and mix well. Then add soymilk and mix well.
4. Make meringue in a separate bowl: Whip egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar 1/3 at a time, then continue to whip until stiff glossy peaks form when you lift the beaters.
5. Add 1/3 of the meringue into the butter mixture (3.), and blend well with a spatula.
6. Sift in A and fold in with a spatula. Then add the rest of the meringue and fold in gently but thoroughly.
7. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter. Use the spatula to cut an incision lengthwise down middle of cake to prevent unwanted cracks on the surface.
8. Bake at 180C (350F) for 15 minutes. Then turn down to 160C (320F) and bake for 35-40 minutes. *Cover the cake with aluminum foil if it starts to brown too much. Insert a stick into the cake to check whether it is baked or not.
9. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.
10. Slice the pound cake. Set a chocolate pen in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Cut the tip of the chocolate pen and draw Frankenstein faces on pound cake slices.

* When the cake is completely cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap. It will last wrapped this way for few days (in the fridge).
* You can also wrap each slices of pound cake individually with a plastic wrap.
