are gyozas dumplings? what’s the difference?

Gyoza is a Chinese-inspired Japanese dumpling with vegetable and ground meat filling. Like Chinese potstickers, the dumplings are cooked in a skillet by pan-frying the base until golden brown & steam cooking the top.

Although the technique used to cook them through is the same, Gyozas are distinct from Chinese potsticker dumplings. They tend to have a bit more bite due to their thinner dumpling skin. This creates a crispier texture…so if you are buying the Gyoza skins, ensure they are Gyoza (not dumpling or wonton skins)!

Trust me, these easy to make Pork Gyoza with crispy lace are a must-try. 

EASY DIPPING SAUCE

Simply mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and my easy, punchy 15-minute homemade chilli oil.

Ingredients
  

Gyoza

  • 340 grams Ground pork (substitute: any choice of minced protein)
  • 3-5 Cabbage leaves finely minced
  • 1 Carrot finely minced
  • 45-52 Gyoza wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Sugar

Crispy Gyoza Lace (per 6-8 Gyoza)

  • 1 teaspoon Corn flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tablespoon Neutral oil e.g. vegetable, canola, grapeseed etc.
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Flour

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Chilli oil

Instructions
 

Marinate your filling

  • In a bowl, add pork, cabbage, carrot, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, minced garlic and ground pepper. Mix well.
  • Test your marinade by cooking a bit of pork on the pan and tasting it. Adjust seasoning if required.
  • If you can, set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes/ideally overnight for the flavour to come through.

Make your dumplings

  • Wrap your dumplings! I usually make dumplings in bulk (~100) and store them in the freezer for later!
  • In a pan on high heat, add neutral oil. Make sure you don't skip the oil, this is necessary for crispiness!
    Pan fried dumplings step 1 to cooking
  • Pan fry the bottom of your dumplings. Add them in a spiral without overcrowding the pan. Fry until the bottoms are golden & crispy.
  • Remove the lid and add a bit of water to the pan. This will steam the dumplings and cook them through. Turn the heat down to medium. Leave it for 5 minutes.

Prepare your Crispy Lace mix

  • While that's cooking, whisk all slurry ingredients together. Ensure it's thin and has no clumps.

  • Add your mix to the pan. It will start to bubble due to the heat.
  • To finish steaming the dumplings and cooking the crispy lace, place the lid on top of the pan. Turn the pan to high heat. Leave for 2 minutes or until crispy golden brown.
    Steaming through dumplings
  • When the lace looks crispy and dumplings cooked through, remove and serve!

Simple dipping sauce

  • In a bowl, add black vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and chilli sauce.

Easy to make Pork Gyoza with Crispy Lace! Gyoza is one of my favourite side dishes to order alongside piping hot Ramen on a cold winter’s day. I loved it so much I had to learn how to make it at home and was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the process was. It’s now something I whip up for my family at least once a month! Gyoza is traditionally served in smaller portions (as an appetiser or a side dish), but we love making them in bulk to serve as a main at home.

Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal ent Last night, I shared a 15 minute audio journal entry <see grid> about why I quit my job at L’Oreal to move to the Northern Rivers for a new job at Conscious Ground, a certified organic farm dedicated to regenerating the land. 
I’m so excited to be joining this legend @baron_walton & to be making content about the eco-system being built that is Conscious Ground —  farm to table // regenerative farming to holistic cookery. 🍃 
Come on over and check out what we’re up to. Head over to @consciousground
Here are some BTS snippets from the last 3 weeks — so excited to share more with you in the new year. 
Happy holidays everyone! 🌈

A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused A few snaps of schtuff we ate this week. I focused on making vege loaded meals to nourish our bodies — treating Veges as the main dishes with Meat as a side, rather than the other way around. ✌🏽 
From left to right —
1. Thai beef salad (see video on my grid for recipe) / Stir fry Bok choy topped with hemp seeds / Grilled chicken satay (see video for recipe) 
2. Turmeric chicken noodle soup 
3. Wednesday night treat 🤤
4. Lettuce salad & hemp seeds / Veg packed Fried rice 
5. Sourdough (from the bakery.. I didn’t make it 😅)
Will drop my next video in the coming weeks, just taking a little break as I settle back into Aus 🙏🏼

Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple Slow cooked beef with Vietnamese herbs / Pineapple salsa / Coriander jasmine rice / Paprika dusted pineapple / Lettuce salad 
End-of-week-fridge-clean-out used to be my least favourite part of home cooking because I’d often be left with excess produce I didn’t know how to use outside of a recipe, but as I gained more confidence in the kitchen (through doing, learning more dishes, stuffing up & repeating), I started looking forward to it more. In fact, I love it now — it’s like a nice end of week challenge! 
It’s probs because I’m forced to think outside the box, which makes me feel like an **artist** — you gotta work with what you’ve got (sometimes u just gotta shekk 💃🏻 what ur mama 🤰gave ya). 
Excluding our classic pantry staples, we had beef brisket, a whole pineapple, carrots, coriander, lettuce, tomatoes, lemons & lime, onions & ginger left over in the fridge. 
With the help of some spices, herbs, fish sauce & half a bottle of Merlot, I threw together this delicious slow cooked beef stew (ok fine I also chucked in a lil cocoa powder & ground coffee [my rationale was literally.. “oooo.. what if I just… yolo.. oops! *simmer for 6 hours * *taste*.. okay I vibe that..]). 
To cut through the rich beef flavours I made a pineapple salsa, lettuce salad, coriander rice & paprika dusted pineapple. 🍍🥬🍚
Twas scrumptious. Just ask Jason. 👀

Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao Yesterday I made @brendan_pang’s Sheng Jian Bao 生煎 包(well, kinda). 
My first crack at this dish — I didn’t have cake flour so I subbed with a flour + cornstarch mix, which meant the dough was a little on the chewier side (vs. fluffy & white). Not the ideal 生煎包 texture but they kinda reminded me of Momos (Nepalese dumplings), which took me way back to 2018 when @berntoohey and I did the Everest base camp trek 🏔 Momo coma 🤌🏽
@brendan_pang I literally jumped up and down when I got this book in the mail for my bday (thank you @y__ilin) and have loved all the recipes I’ve tried so far! 🥟
