Gyoza, or Japanese dumplings, are delicious little packages. They’re the Japanese equivalent of Chinese potstickers. This Classic Pork and Vegetable Gyoza recipe uses a soft and slick pastry wrapped around a flavorful filling of pork mince and vegetables.
I came across this recipe while sorting through some old magazines. The ginger flavour is not overpowering, but it elevates the parcels to new heights when combined with the other ingredients.
This recipe is even better when paired with the Juicy Cilantro Lime Chicken. Have a hearty meal!
Classic Pork and Vegetable Gyoza
This Classic Pork and Vegetable Gyoza recipe are made with a slick pastry wrapped around a flavourful filling of pork mince and vegetables.
Ingredients
250 grams ground pork (minced pork)- ¾ cup Chinese cabbage - thinly sliced
1 small carrots - finely grated
2 cm ginger - peeled and grated
1 clove garlic - crushed
2 teaspoons soy sauce- 1 teaspoon Hoisin sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil- 275 grams Gyoza wrappers - packet
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion - Thinly sliced to serve
For the dipping sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon caster sugar
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, cabbage, carrot, onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
- Place wrappers on the work surface. Place a rounded teaspoon of the mince mixture on half of the wrapper, then brush the edges with cold water. Fold over to enclose the filling. To seal the pleats, pinch the edges together.
- In a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, heat half of the vegetable oil and place half of the dumplings in the pan. Cook for one minute on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Mix with 1/2 cup cold water. Put the cover on the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the gyoza is just tender. Remove from the heat.
- Allow standing for one minute in the pan. Transfer to a platter with caution. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat with the rest of the oil and gyoza.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce. Serve gyoza with dipping sauce and sliced green onions.
