Gyoza - Japanese dumplings
Gyoza are the Japanese version of Chinese jiaozi dumplings. Unlike the original, they are smaller, have thinner wrappers, and are prepared using the yaki technique, pan-fried and then steamed under a lid.
The classic filling contains ground pork, cabbage, scallions, garlic, and ginger. They are served with a dipping sauce made from rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil.
- Gyoza came to Japan from China after World War II
- The yaki technique creates a crispy bottom and soft top at the same time
- The city of Utsunomiya is considered the gyoza capital of Japan
- The dipping sauce is made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil
