Gyoza (Japanese Dumpling)..bite size 😃

Hey guys!! I made some modification on previous dumpling. Well, nothing much changes, just on the the folding method, and cooking method 😃

So, previous dumpling was, I’m using the whole piece of skin. I’d found out its too big to chew. So, now I modified it by folding it into 2, then cut it into two. Sorry, forgot to take the picture. So, it happened to look like this…😀

Folding Gyoza 😃

Okay, let me cut a paper to show you how to fold it…sorry guys! I forgot to snap the pictures 😅

1. Imagine this is the skin..Im using paper for a demo 😄
2. Fold it into half.
3. Then, you cut it into two.

4. Okay, here is the part. Firstly, secure with water to glue the side of the cone. Then, you fill the meat. Lastly, secure the curve side with water to glue it.
5. When you glue the 1st side, it will looks something like this. Fill the filling inside, then glue the curve part. 😃
6. You will get something like this.
7. Lastly, tap tap all the sides. You don’t need water for this, or it will be too sticky. Just ensure no air bubble in the filling, or else it will pop out when you boil it later 🙂

Cooking method ☺

Okay, you can steam, you can boil, you can deep fry. But I choose to boil first, then stir fry my gyoza with olive oil 😂

Normally, gyoza you will fry the bottom, then add on some water for steaming. But hey, I wanna make my ownself. My own way. My Gyoza, My Rules. Hahahaha 😆

1. Boil Gyoza: okay, I pour water into my pot and let it boil first. Then I put my Gyoza inside, not too long. Just as long as my Gyoza floating, it consider done. Then, I filter the water using net.
2. Stir fry: okay you clean all messy water, let it dry first and put on lil bit of olive oil. Well, like what I said, its my gyoza and its my rule. I wanna use olive oil 😃. Hahaha. So, I put lil bit of olive oil, then let it fry lil bit. Then, switch to other side..then..wallaaa!! 🥰
Final product: tadaaa!!! I ate with soy sauce mixed with sesame oil. Itadakimasu!!! 🥰

Okay, that’s all the modification done. I think this gonna be my fav dumpling ❤

To be continue…

Love, Sofia
