Ingredients

  • 500 grams Pork mince
  • 3 leaves Cabbage
  • 3 leaves Chinese cabbage
  • 1 bunch Garlic chives
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 Green onion
  • 1 tbsp Sake
  • 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 small peice Ginger
  • 1 to 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Katakuriko
  • 1 as required Gyoza skins

Method

  • Chop cabbage and Chinese cabbage finely.
  • Sprinkle salt and set aside.
  • Squeeze out excess water (you can use a food processor if you prefer).
  • Chop green onion, garlic chives and onion.
  • Mix with the ingredients from Step 1 and katakuriko.
  • Stir well.
  • In a different bowl, combine the pork mince, grated garlic and chopped ginger.
  • Add Step 3 to Step 2 then add sake, oyster sauce, sesame oil and pepper.
  • Stir well.
  • The best way to wrap the filling with the skins is press in the middle first and make 3 pleats each on both sides.
  • In this way, you will wrap many very quickly.
  • I make them in bulk and freeze half.
  • Freeze completely first, taking care so they don't stick to each other.
  • After this, put them in a well-sealed bag.
  • Heat a large portion of oil in a frying pan.
  • As in this photo when the bottoms of gyoza are golden-brown, go ahead and steam them.
  • When you make "wings" on the gyoza, add flour to the water for steaming.
  • I dissolve one tablespoon of flour in 100 ml of water.
  • Cover with a lid and steam for about five minutes.
  • Uncover and evaporate the excess water in the frying pan to make the gyoza very crispy.
  • This takes about two to three minutes.
  • Look at the crispy wings around the gyoza!!
  • The wings give them a very nice texture and taste.
