August 29-30, 2009: Just-As-Good Gyoza

ravioli left me with extra gow gee wrappers, as well as I felt a footling uncomfortable with them lurking 'round the house. I dearest dumplings (love! dumplings!) but they're the sort of fiddly affair I'm non as well as then skillful at making. I tried once, a duo of years ago, as well as they turned out a footling weird. Ultimately, this week, the dumpling dearest as well as wastage loathe won out as well as I gave Lucy's gorgeous gyoza recipe about other shot. Michael pitched inwards with about stellar chopping, creating the delicately textured filling that I didn't quite grapple final time.


Vincent Vegetarian Food inwards Footscray sell a bright chilli "fish" sauce! It's a pleasant-tasting (though less pungent) alternative that you lot powerfulness fifty-fifty survive able to brand yourself - the ingredients are water, soya beans, sugar, chilli, salt, vinegar as well as a duo of weird 3-digit codes (I suspect ane of them's MSG).

If you're game for grappling with gyoza, I tin laissez passer on the axe highly recommend Lucy's recipe - adjacent fourth dimension (and I won't larn out it as well as then long adjacent time!) I'll travail brand an extra batch to popular inwards the freezer.


Just-as-good gyoza
(Lucy's kaffir lime leafage gyoza, doubled inwards quantity to double the gobbling)

gyoza
4 kaffir lime leaves, spines removed as well as leaves finely sliced
2 modest ruby chillis, seeds removed as well as finely chopped
4cm chunk ginger, peeled as well as grated
4 jump onions, chopped
2 tablespoons tamari
2 teaspoons sesame oil
150g Swiss chocolate-brown mushrooms, finely diced
150g tofu, finely diced
24 gow gee wrappers
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 loving cup water

dipping sauce
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons vegetarian fish sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

In a nutrient processor, whiz together the lime leaves, chilli, ginger as well as jump onions. (It's worth finely dicing them inwards spite of this footstep 'cause those lime leaves are otherwise tough to chew on.) Add the tamari as well as sesame petroleum as well as pulse until only combined. Add the mushrooms as well as tofu as well as pulse briefly again. (I prefer to retain a footling texture inwards the mixture - I mean value Lucy's is belike smoother still.)

Fill the wonton wrappers with teaspoons of filling, using a finger dabbed inwards H2O to seal them. Do this footstep nevertheless you lot similar or know, using unproblematic half-moons or fancy (but non also dificult!) pleats.

Heat the olive petroleum inwards a frypan as well as spread out the gyoza inwards a unmarried layer (you may require ii frypans or ii batches to educate this quantity of gyoza). Fry the gyoza for a duo of minutes, until they're golden as well as crispy underneath. Pour the H2O into the frypan but stand upward dorsum as well as survive careful! The petroleum volition spit. Cover the frypan(s) as well as steam the gyoza on depression rut for iii minutes. Remove the lid as well as permit whatever excess H2O to educate away.

Stir together the dipping sauce ingredients inwards a bowl, as well as serve it amongst the freshly cooked gyoza.
