As many of you know, my family's ancestry goes back to Japan. So, we always have a big New Year's Day dinner with lots of family and friends. This is one of the dishes we sometimes serve.
Gyoza (I think they're like potstickers?)
1.5 lbs ground pork
1 head cabbage
8 green onions, finely chopped
8-9 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup soy sauce
dash salt
3 pkgs. gyoza wrappers
Sauce:
white vinegar
soy sauce
chili oil
1. Grate cabbage and squeeze out excess water.
2. Combine ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, cornstarch, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well.
3. Place about 1 tsp. filling in each wrapper. Moison half the wrapper with water and press edges to stick. Crimp edges.
4. Pour about 1 T. vegetable oil and 1/2 tsp. sesame oil in a frying pan. cook gyoza for a few minutes until browned on both sides. Add 1/4 cup water to pan and quickly cover pan and steam until the water is gone. (This helps make them both crispy on the edges, and softer in the middle as well as adds to the flavor.)
Serve with sauce and enjoy!
Notes: Some people include fresh ginger roots in the gyoza. I've never tried it, but it could be good!
