Pork Gyoza

July 27, 2012 By Lokness 2 Comments

When I go to a Japanese restaurant, I always look for gyoza in the menu. Some places have really good homemade gyoza, but some other just use pre-made frozen gyoza. In that case, it is better just to make your own gyoza. Since making gyoza is a bit time-consuming, I tried to make many at one time. The leftover can be stored in the freezer for later. These little gyoza had crispy skins and juicy fillings. The garlic chives gave the gyoza a strong rich flavors and the cabbage balanced it out. When I made the gyoza, Bryan and I would only ate them for dinner. Pile and pile of gyoza!

Pork Gyoza (Adapted from Cooking With Dog video)

About 70 gyoza

Ingredients:

–   70 gyoza wrappers

–   ¾ lb ground pork

–   10 ounce cabbage (finely chopped)

–   5 ounce onion (finely chopped)

–   3 ounce Nira (garlic chives) (finely chopped)

–   1 teaspoon sesame oil

–   water

–   flour (for dusting)

Marinade for pork:

–   3 tablespoons corn starch

–   2 ½ tablespoon soy sauce

–   1 ½ tablespoon oyster sauce

–   1 ½ tablespoon sesame oil

–   3 teaspoons garlic (grated)

–   1 ½ teaspoon ginger (grated)

–   1 ½ teaspoon sugar

–   pinch of white pepper

–   1 tablespoon Sake (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the ground pork with hand until the meat looks a bit sticky. Add the marinade to the pork. Mix well until sticky. Add the cabbage, onion and nira. Combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle some flour over two baking sheets. Set aside.
  3. Prepare a bowl of water.
  4. To wrap a gyoza, put a gyoza wrapper on the palm of your hand. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Dip one of your fingers into the water and wet the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half. Start making a few folds on one side of the gyoza. Press tightly against the other side of the wrapper to seal. Place the gyoza on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the rest of the gyoza wrappers.
  5. When all the gyoza are wrapped, place the two baking sheets into the freezer. Let them sit for half an hour or until the gyoza are frozen. Take them out and transfer them to a plastic bag. Keep them in the freezer until ready to use.
  6. In a large pan over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Spread the oil over the pan. Place about 20 gyoza in the pan and make sure they don’t touch each other. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the bottom of the gyoza start to turn golden brown. Add enough water to cover the gyoza half way up. Cover with a lid, and cook for 4 – 5 minutes until the water has evaporated. Cook uncover for 2 – 4 minutes. When the bottom of the pan starts to turn brown. Take out the gyoza with a hard spatula and transfer to a plate. Serve immediately with gyoza dipping sauce.

Tips:

  1. If you want to cook the gyoza right away after wrapping, you can skip the freezer part.
  2. 30 – 35 gyoza is about the serving size for 2 people for dinner.
  3. You can find gyoza wrappers, nira, and gyoza dipping sauce in Japanese supermarket.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
