Gyoza — Japanese Dumplings

Try a Japanese-style meal — it's delicious and out of the ordinary! Gyoza are Japanese dumplings with an unusual filling of ground pork and napa cabbage. You can make them at home, but keep in mind that dough with starch is stickier than regular dumpling dough, so you'll need to dust your work surface with flour each time you work with it.

    1. Sift the flour and starch into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Pour hot water into the dry ingredients and knead the dough right away. The dough will be soft and a little sticky; roll it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour. Keep in mind you may need more or less water — go by the consistency of the dough.
    1. Separate the napa cabbage into leaves — it's easier to cut that way — then slice each leaf into thin strips. Peel the ginger root and grate it on the fine side of a grater. Wash the green onions and finely chop them with a knife. Peel the garlic and run it through a press. Put the cabbage, ground pork, green onions, ginger, and garlic in a bowl, add the lemon juice and soy sauce, and mix.
    1. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a thin round. Place a little filling in the center and pinch the edges shut like a dumpling. Fry the dumplings in hot oil until nicely golden, then pour a little boiling water into the pan and cook, covered, until the liquid has fully evaporated.
  • Serve with soy sauce, sprinkled with chopped green onions.
  • Enjoy!
  • Be prepared to use more or less flour than the recipe states. Go by the consistency of the dough you want, not the exact amount of flour. To avoid mistakes, read up on flour and how it behaves!
