Prawn Gyoza
Japanese Prawn Dumplings
Recipe from the Around the World in 20 Plates Resource.
Classification
NSW: OCCASIONAL
Ingredients
Method
In a medium bowl, combine the filling ingredients.
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle of one dumpling wrapper,
dab some water around the edge of the wrapper and fold over to
form a semi-circle. Push down the edges to seal the gyoza. Repeat
to make remaining gyoza.
Heat water and sesame oil into a large pan. Place 9 gyoza in the shallow water and bring to boil. Cook until the water evaporates, and only the oil is left over (about 7 minutes) and the base of each gyoza is slightly brown. Repeat with the remaining gyoza.
Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and transfer to small, lidded serving dishes.
Serve the gyoza warm with a side of the dipping sauce. These can be served as a snack with 3 gyoza, or a meal with 6 gyoza. Serving suggestion: with steamed broccoli tossed in small amounts of sesame oil, light soy sauce and sesame seeds.
Tip
- You could also cook these in a bamboo steamer to make them EVERYDAY. In a pot large enough to sit a bamboo steamer on top, add some water and bring to the boil. Place the bamboo steamer on top of the pot, line with baking paper and add gyoza (ensure they are not touching). Steam for 5 minutes, remove from steamer and repeat with remaining gyoza.
