Pork And Shrimp Gyoza Food

PORK GYOZA

Steps:

• Combine ground pork, cabbage, egg, spring onions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sake, mirin, and ginger in a large bowl; mix well.
• Place approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture in the center of each gyoza wrapper. Moisten your fingers with water and rub around the edges of each wrapper. Fold wrappers in half over filling, creating a semi circle. Take one side of the wrapper and make crimps along the edges for a decorative pattern (like pleats of a skirt) and press along the edges to seal the two sides together. Ensure there isn't much excess air caught inside the dumpling. Repeat until all the pork mixture is used.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many gyoza in the skillet as fit in a single layer and fry until the bottom is browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add water to skillet and reduce heat. Cover and allow gyoza to steam until all the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining gyoza.
• Mix rice vinegar and soy sauce together for a dipping sauce and serve with the gyoza.

JAPANESE SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium-sized pot with boiling water, cook the whole cabbage leaves for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain well and let the cabbage cool off a little before squeezing out as much of the excess water as possible by pressing the cabbage leaves between your hands and pressing hard.
• Thinly chop the cabbage and place it in a medium-sized bowl. Reserve.
• Finely chop the clean shrimp into a paste-like texture.
• Add the shrimp into the cabbage bowl.
• Add the grated ginger and chopped green onion and mix all ingredients well.
• Add sake, salt, sesame oil, and katakuriko and mix well. You can knead the mixture with your hands too.
• Have at hand a small bowl with water. On a clean work surface, place a gyoza wrapper and add a small spoonful of filling, about 1 heaping teaspoon, in the middle of the wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and moisten all around the wrapper edges.
• Fold the wrapper in half to make a semicircle shape.
• Press tightly on the edges to close the gyoza. There shouldn't be any gaps as the filling can ooze out when the gyoza hits the pan.
• Repeat the process until all of the shrimp filling is used.
• In a large skillet over high heat, add enough canola oil to coat the bottom, 1 to 2 tablespoons.
• Place the prepared gyoza in the skillet and fry until the bottoms become brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan; if necessary work in batches, adding more oil as needed. Once the bottoms are golden, turn down the heat to low.
• Pour 1/4 cup of water in the skillet and cover. Steam the gyoza on low heat until the water is gone.
• Serve the gyoza with ponzu sauce on the side, the optional karashi, or an optional spicy ponzu with a pinch of shichimi togarashi on top.
• Enjoy!

PORK GYOZA (JAPANESE POTSTICKERS)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the shredded cabbage until it is tender but still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Plunge the cooked cabbage into ice water to stop the cooking, then remove and squeeze out any water.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cooked cabbage, ground pork, green onion, minced ginger, egg, soy sauce, chili oil, and sesame oil. Mix to combine.
• Lay a gyoza wrapper in front of you. Wet all the edges with water. Place a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper.
• Fold the sides up to form a semicircle and then pinch the edges to seal. If desired, create pleats. Continue with the rest of the gyoza wrappers until the filling is gone.
• To cook, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 12 to 15 of the gyoza in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Cover the dumplings and cook until the water is absorbed (5 to 7 minutes). Repeat with the remainder of the gyoza.

SHRIMP GYOZA

• Defrost and shell shrimp, then boil.
• Once shrimp is cooked, chop the shrimp and scallions, grate the ginger, and combine them with the garlic, sesame oil, rice wine and egg white in a bowl.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoons of filling onto each wrapper until there is no more filling.
• Fold over your wrapper and press together the edges, wetting them first, and crimping them as you go.
• Put the gyoza on a baking sheet and freeze in freezer for 20 minute.
• Remove gyoza and place them in a pan in rows. fill pan with about 1/2 inch water. Top with a lid and allow to boil until there is barely any water left (time will vary.).
• When the water is very low, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, and fry gyoza til bottoms are brown and crispy (but not burnt!).
• Scoop gyoza out with a spatula and serve!

SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp, ginger (if using), cabbage, scallion, sake, mirin, salt and sesame oil in a bowl, stir and mix well to form a sticky filling.
• Place a piece of gyoza wrapper on your palm and spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling onto the wrapper. Do not overfill. Dip your index finger into a small bowl of water and circle around the outer edges of the gyoza wrapper. Fold the gyoza over to form a half moon shape and pleat and pinch the folds, as pictured above. Finish by pressing the edges with your thumb and index finger to ensure that the dumpling is sealed tightly and there is no leakage. Place the gyoza on a floured surface or baking sheet.
• Using a non-stick skillet (preferred) to pan-fry the shrimp gyoza. Add 1 tablespoon of oil on medium-low heat, then arrange all the gyoza on the skillet. Pan fry the gyoza until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy. Add the water and cover it with the lid. Steam the gyoza until the water completely evaporates. Serve the gyoza warm with the Ponzu sauce.

GYOZA (THE BEST RECIPE!)

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all the ingredients in the Filling and blend well. The Filling should be sticky and cohesive.
• To make Gyoza Sauce, combine the Ponzu with the sesame oil in a small dipping bowl. Stir to blend well.
• To assemble the gyoza, place a piece of the gyoza wrapper on your palm or a flat surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the Filling onto the center of the wrapper. Dip your index finger into some water and moisten the outer edges of the dumpling wrapper. Fold the gyoza over, press and seal the left end. Use your thumb and index finger to make a pleat. Pinch to secure tightly. Repeat the same to make the pleats. (Start with 3-4 pleats if you are a beginner). A nicely wrapped gyoza should have a crescent shape.
• Heat up the oil in a skillet or stir-fry pan over medium heat. Arrange the gyoza and cover with the lid. Pan-fry the gyoza until the bottoms turn golden brown and become crispy. Add about 1/4-inch water into the skillet or stir-fry pan and cover the lid immediately. The water should evaporate after a few minutes. Continue to cook the gyoza for a couple of minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
• Remove the gyoza from the skillet or stir-fry pan and serve immediately with the Gyoza Sauce.

PORK AND SHRIMP GYOZA

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the shrimp, pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic, egg whites, ginger, green onions and lemon juice. Process until partly smooth but not completely pureed (it should have a little texture).
• Hold a wonton wrapper in your hand. Dip a tablespoon measure in cold water and then scoop 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of a wrapper (dipping the spoon in cold water first will make the filling come off easier). Lightly moisten the edge of the wrapper with some water and fold over to form a half moon. Holding the edge in your hands, crimp and pinch around wrapper to create a fluted edge. Flatten the bottom so that the edge is facing upwards. Repeat for the remaining filling and wrappers.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat and add the peanut oil. Add the gyoza flat-side down to the pan, and cook until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1/4 cup water. Return the pan to the heat and cover with a lid. Remove the lid and cook until the water evaporates and the gyoza are golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with soy sauce for dipping.
