Steps
Fill · About 12 min
- Mix 250 g cabbage, finely chopped, 150 g mushrooms, finely chopped, 30 g spring onions, chopped, 10 g ginger, grated, 15 ml soy sauce, 10 ml sesame oil. Use 30 gyoza wrappers, 60 ml water for sealing to fill and seal 30 wrappers, moistening only their edges.
Brown · About 3 min
- Heat half the oil from 20 ml neutral oil, 180 ml water for steaming. Fry half the dumplings flat-side down for 3 minutes.
Steam · About 6 min
- Add half the steaming water, cover and cook 6 minutes. Uncover and crisp for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining dumplings, oil and water.
Check: The wrappers are soft and translucent; the bottoms are golden and crisp.
Tips
- Keep filling away from the wrapper edges for a firm seal.
- Use the texture and doneness checks in the method; cooking times depend on your pan and heat.
Substitutions
- Use finely chopped firm tofu instead of mushrooms.
Storage
- Refrigerate perishable food within two hours, or within one hour in heat above 32°C / 90°F. Store covered at 4°C / 40°F or below. Use within two days for this draft.
- Reheat cooked dishes to 74°C / 165°F, stirring or turning for even heating. Serve cold salads, dips and chilled desserts directly from safe refrigeration.
- For sauces and soups, add a little water if thick and reheat gently. Crisp coatings soften after storage.
Make ahead
- Prepare the measured ingredients for Vegetable Gyoza one day ahead. Refrigerate chopped vegetables and other perishable ingredients separately; complete the staged cooking on the serving day.
