Best Gyoza Pot Stickers Recipes

GYOZA (POT STICKERS)

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; add curry paste. Cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage, carrot, and 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic; cook and stir until cabbage is wilted and moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool.
• Mix pork, egg, 1/4 cup green onions, water chestnuts, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and brown sugar together in a bowl. Stir in cabbage mixture.
• Whisk together rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, 1/3 cup green onions, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove garlic, and chili paste. Let dipping sauce flavors meld for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Separate and place gyoza wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wrappers with water. Fold one side of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite side to form a crescent-shaped gyoza. Press edges together to seal.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook half the gyoza until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Pour 1/4 cup broth into skillet; reduce heat and cover. Steam until broth evaporates and gyoza are translucent, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil, gyoza, and broth.

PORK POT STICKERS: GYOZA

Steps:

• Boil wonton skins in a large pot of water until al dente and drain well, Lay the wonton skins out on a waxed paper surface.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F or as instructed by the manufacturer for similar foods.
• Heat the grape seed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, add the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook until it begins to brown, stirring often. Spoon off any excess fat from the pan and add the scallions, ginger, and soy sauce. Cook until flavors are well integrated. Remove from heat and let rest.
• Create a slurry in a small bowl by gradually whisking 2 tablespoons water into the cornstarch.
• Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cooked pork mixture onto each of the wontons. Fold each over to enclose and seal the edges shut with the cornstarch slurry.
• Add the filled wontons to the basket of a deep fryer in batches to keep them from being overcrowded and possibly sticking together. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
• Serve warm with soy sauce.

GYOZA ( POT STICKERS)

Steps:

• While still mostly frozen, and using a very sharp knife, mince the pork loin until it resembles ground pork.
• In a medium mixing bowl mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined.
• On a dry surface lay out a Gyoza wrapper and place a teaspoonful of pork mixture in the center. Wet just the tip of your finger and run around the edge of the wrapper. Fold over and pinch the sides together so it looks like a semi-circle.
• Repeat until the pork mixture is gone.
• In a large non-stick frying pan with a lid (I use a 4 1/2 quart Sauteusse)heat a teaspoonful of oil and place 10-12 gyoza in the pan.
• Cook for two minutes without touching them.
• Pour a half cup of water into the pan and cover immediately.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes, undisturbed, or until all water is gone.
• Remove from pan with tongs.
• Repeat with rest of gyoza.

• Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and maple syrup. Stir, then add cellophane noodles and mix thoroughly to coat.
• Add scallions and cook for one minute.
• Place about 1 tbsp of mixture into each wrapper, moisten edges (using soymilk or egg substitute works better than water), and seal.
• Steam for about 3 minutes.

THE SECRET TO PERFECT GYOZA N POT STICKERS

Steps:

• First combine the meat and the seasonings. Mix it with your HANDS. This is important. Then add in the rest of the vegetables. Mix it very very well WITH YOUR HANDS till it changes texture and cannot fall apart.
• Place a teaspoonful of filling in a wrapper and put water along the edge of the wrapper. Make a semicircle, gathering the front side of the wrapper and sealing the top.
• Put the gyozas into a pan and fill the pan with BOILING WATER. The water must come up to half the height of the gyozas and no higher or lower. Cover and let boil/steam for 3 minutes EXACTLY.
• Open the lid and drain off excess water. Add vegetable oil and let it fry for only 1 and a half minutes. No longer, no shorter.
• Remove and serve :D.

POT STICKERS (WAR TEEP) / GYOZA DIM SUM / DEEM SUM

Steps:

• For the wrappers:.
• Put flour and salt into a food processor bowl with metal blade attached and affix the cover.
• Turn on the motor and slowly begin adding water through the chute until dough forms into a loose ball around the blade. You may not need all the water --
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for about a minute.
• Shape into ball and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds. Return 2/3rds to the bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
• Roll the remaining third into a cylinder about 12 inches long by 1 inch wide. Cut into 1 inch pieces.
• Either press each piece with a tortilla press or place a piece of dough between your hands with the cut sides against the palm and squeeze flat.
• Using a small tapered rolling pin roll the dough out to 2-1/2 inch diameter keeping the center thicker than the edges.
• Repeat with the remaining wrappers, placing them on a floured plate and cover with a damp towel until ready to use.
• For the Filling:.
• Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water that covers them for about 30 minutes or until soft and pliable. When reconstituted, squeeze out the excess water and mince. The packaging for these mushrooms usually gives a quicker way to reconstitute using boiling water.
• Place ground pork in bowl, add mushrooms, scallion, ginger and chicken stock. Mix well.
• Add the remaining filling ingredients minus the cabbage and salt (will be added later) and the canola oil and water (used for cooking). Mix well until tacky. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Place the chopped cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Mix by hand and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Place the cabbage in a kitchen towel or strong paper towel and squeeze out the excess water. Set aside.
• Prepare pot sticker wrappers.
• Mix reserved cabbage into filling mixture just before making the dumplings.
• Assembly Instructions:.
• Have a small bowl of water near at hand, a plate and oiled cookie sheet for the dumpling assembly.
• Place a heaping teaspoon or desired amount of filling into the center of the wrapper.
• Rub a thin line of water from a bowl around the edge and fold in half making a half moon shape.
• Starting from one end, pleat one edge of the dough in an over-lapping fashion and pinch to seal. The shape will turn out to be a slightly off center crescent. Place on an oiled cookie sheet until ready to bake or freeze. See uploaded pictures for a better idea of what the end product looks like.
• Cooking Instructions:.
• Heat a heavy frying pan to hot over medium heat and coat the bottom with one tablespoon of canola oil.
• Off heat, arrange the dumplings in the pan flat side down, allowing space between each.
• Pan-fry the dumplings at medium heat until the bottoms turn light golden brown. Pour in hot water, cover immediately with a slightly cocked lid and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. All water should evaporate.
• Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons of oil (do not pour onto dumplings). Fry uncovered until the undersides of the dumplings are golden brown and crisp.
• Serve with your favorite soy sauce / chili pepper oil / vinegar dip. See Recipe #469900 #469900 for the ingredients / instructions.
