Perhaps, every country on earth has its own version of meat dumplings, for instance in Russia and Ukraine people enjoy their pelmeni quite a lot, Chinese dim sum is extremely popular in both China and the US, a lot of my friends absolutely love Polish pierogi here in Detroit and my cousin tasted the best khinkali when she visited Georgia. Dumplings go by a lot of different names, methods of preparation and shapes, yet they're all very very similar.

If I had to pick just one version to enjoy for the rest of my life, I would have to say Japanese Gyoza, by far they are my absolute favorite. I just love the combination of savory meat, aromatic vegetables and umami dipping sauce!

While gyoza may seem intimidating to take on in your own kitchen, it is extremely easy to make, especially these days, when you don't even have to make your own wrappers. I normally grab some from the grocery store, they're already thin enough and using them helps me to speed up the process big time.
Here is a basic list of ingredients that I use when making my gyoza, I'm going to skip on providing the exact amounts since that will depend on how many gyoza you're making.

Ingredients:

  • gyoza wrappers;
  • ground pork;
  • fresh cabbage;
  • fresh ginger;
  • fresh garlic;
  • green onions;
  • salt and white pepper;
  • tamari.

This isn't a final list, of course, shiitake mushrooms are an extremely popular ingredient, but I hardly ever have them around to throw some in. Feel free to drizzle some sake on top of your filling mixture too!

You can either steam your gyoza or fry them, I do both. I begin by frying them in a cast iron skillet for a couple minutes, then add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and steam gyoza for additional 4 minutes or so.

When I make my dipping sauce, I usually use toasted sesame seed oil, chili paste and tamari. If you're frying gyoza, it is best to use neutral flavor oil in my opinion, so flavors don't get too overwhelming.
Enjoy!

We don’t have any dumblings in Finland :( I’ll have to see if any big supermarket carries the wrappers, I’d love to make these, they look super delicious!

What?! That's crazy! I would have never guessed because it's such a well spread dish. I actually couldn't resist looking it up, and apparently there are some deer blood dumplings https://www.tasteatlas.com/blodpalt obviously, not something modern people would be making, I imagine!
Yeah, store bought wrappers are the way to go, I tried making my own one time and they didn't turn out good haha!

Hope you scout them out and make some, gyoza are absolutely delicious! Thank you!

If you google the finnish name veripalttu you’ll see that it’s not anything resembling of dumblings 😂 and yeah, never eaten that nor know of anyone who would have. I think the closest one we make would be some meat, onion, mushroom and barley filled puff pastry.

Yeah, some of it looks kind of like blood sausage, and other photos look like brownies, very weird! Hahaha

And you gotta admit, pretty disgusting 😂😅

Hahaha yeah

Look beautiful color, Dear.

In Indonesia, we can find them easily. Great for you making own gyoza.

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked the pictures!

love gyoza dumplings

Aren't they just the best :D

omg the texture ofthose dumplings is amazing! so well and symetric. It's like a shell or a shrimp. Fantastic dumplings Kotts!!

Thanks a lot! I used gyoza wrappers to make these, so perhaps that contributed to them being so symmetrical :D you should make some!

Какая красивая форма. А у меня не получается так защипывать.
Для этого нужен талант :-) Спасибо за рецепт.

Надеюсь, что получилось очень вкусно.
Особенно с таким соусом.
И фотографии как всегда потрясающие!

Спасибо огромное! Не знаю, вроде обычно защипываю, наверное, так ровно получилось из-за того, что само тесто кружки покупные?

Надеюсь, что ты тоже попробуешь приготовить, очень вкусно!

Конечно попробую, я давно уже собираюсь, но всё что-то мешает.
Теперь вот принялась за рисование :-)

Тоже отличное занятие, буду ждать новых шедевров, мне очень нравятся твои рисунки!

Большое спасибо! Мне очень приятно! А муж смеётся над моим увлечением :-)

Да, тут главное - палочки )))
не-не, пельмени могут быть только сибирскими, так и чебурек пельменем можно обозвать :-))))

А что, чебурек, пельмень, почти одно и тоже хахахаха

тесто...мясо... таки да)))

@intrepidthinker has told me so much about these! They look delicious!

I am addicted to gyoza, just can't stop making them hahaha

Thanks!
