Japan's Viral Gyoza
This quick and delicious gyoza is trending in Japan right now so of course, I had to share!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 pack gyoza wrappers/skins
- 1/2 lb thin cut pork
- 2 packs shiso leaves (ooba)
- salt
- water
- oil
- ponzu for dipping
Instructions
- In one gyoza wrapper/skin, place 1 shiso leaf and 1 piece of thinly cut pork.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Wrap the skin around the ingredients until two sides meet. Use water to wet the points where the edges touch to become a sort of glue.
- Repeat until you create the desired amount of gyoza.
- In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Then lay the gyoza onto the pan.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover the pan to steam the gyoza.
- Once the water evaporates (about 4 minutes) and the bottom of the gyoza becomes crispy, transfer the gyoza to a plate. *NOTE: if your gyoza is stuck to the pan when trying to remove it, it's not ready yet. It will release when it has a good crisp.
- Repeat until all the gyoza are cooked.
- Serve immediately with ponzu as dipping sauce.
