Gyoza : Dumplings Recipe

Gyoza is my favorite. I guess it called dumplings in English. You can find in the frozen food area, but I make these every now and then. It is a lot of work to make but when I eat them, it worth the trouble.

Ground pork : 150 gram
Cabbage : 200 gram
Green onion : 2 or 3 strings
grated ginger : about 1 tea spoon
Chinese chive (if available) : 50 gram

Soy Sauce 1/2 tea spoon
Salt 1/2 tea spoon
Sake (Japanese rice wine) 1 table spoon
Sesame Oil 1 tea spoon

Gyoza Skin : 1 pack

1) Boil cabbage for a few minute, drain and squeeze off the liquid and chop into mince. chop all other vegetables. throw in meat and all the seasonings in a bowl and mix well with your hands (yack!)

2) Put spoonful of the mixture above on the gyoza skin.

Wet the half end and fold in to make a gyoza.
You can make about 30 gyoza with ingredients above.

3) heat the pan with oil, put gyoza on the pan and put a nice brown mark on a side.

Flip the gyoza and add 1/4 cup of the water and put a lid on a pan. simmer for 3 to 4 minute. let the water evaporate and make gyoza  crunchy with a golden mark. Serve and enjoy with a soy sauce!

Some people make gyoza skin but I've never made them.
