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.

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!
