Pork and Ginger Gyoza
Recently I attempted homemade dumpling wrappers for the first time. They took a while and weren’t perfect but they were delicious and it was fun! You can totally use store bought wrappers instead, it would be much easier that way!
I do not come from an Asian heritage so I am most definitely not an expert in gyoza. I read up a lot about them before trying them and used a mix of recipes, steps, and guidance from various sources – @food52, @bonappetitmag, @chinasichuanfood, @hellolisalin .
Gyoza wrappers:
2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup just under boiling water
Mix the flour/salt with hot water. Once cool enough to handle, knead into a smooth ball (3-4 minutes).
Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit for 30 min. Then split into 30 balls about 12g each.
Roll them out into circles using liberal amounts of flour so they don’t stick to each other.
I like to enjoy these either on their own or on a salad!
