Gyoza


Gyoza!

[Dumplings]

Like always when I cook, I didn't really follow one recipe in particular. I based most of it off of http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/gyoza/Detail.aspx


2 cups shredded cabbage - I used cole slaw mix
Almost a whole bunch of green onions, chopped
One carrot, grated
1 clove garlic, grated of pushed through a press

I heated some sesame oil in my wok and added all the veggies and cooked for a little bit.

I added 1/2 lb ground chicken, a few shakes of dried ginger (I forgot to buy fresh ginger root), a little soy sauce, and one egg and cooked until the chicken was done. I put about a tablespoon of the filling into each wonton wrapper and sealed them up into triangles. I boiled them instead of frying. They were probably in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes and then I flipped them and cooked for another 2 minutes.



Next time, I am going to try not cooking the chicken, but adding it to the cooked vegetables so the filling will not be as loose and crumbly. This would increase the time you would boil them. I'd say 4 minutes on each side should be reasonable in that situation.

I put the extras on a cookie sheet to freeze them. [I only had 10 left]
