Do you know those Japanese dumplings that you find in every Asian restaurant?
They are stuffed with spicy pork and cabbage, and served with a soy sauce dressing.
The gyozas are juicy, perfectly browned and keep a nice shape when cooked. A true delight !
What makes gyozas so delicious is their "crispy-chewy" cooking.
By the way, it's so delicious that I wanted to try the recipe :-)
And you know what ? In fact, I realized that homemade gyozas are super easy to make !
We prepare the stuffing, we put it in the middle of a dough. A few folds to make the ravioli, and hop in the pan!
So, without further ado, here is the easy and inexpensive recipe for gyozas, the delicious Japanese dumplings:
Ingredients for about 25 ravioli
- 25 sheets for gyoza: you can find it inexpensively in the frozen section of Asian grocery stores

How to do

Your prank should look like this:
4. Place a large teaspoon of stuffing in the middle of each disc of gyoza dough.
5. With your fingers, moisten the edge of the dough all around the filling.
