Instructions
Folding scalloped edges on gyoza is a skill that eludes me, even after repeated viewings of Yong Fook's how-to video. Luckily my lack of dexterity is no match for my love of potstickers!
- Combine meats, tofu and seasonings in a bowl and mix thouroughy
- Lay out as many wrappers as your work area will allow
- Add a measured amount(I use a tablespoon) to the center of each wrapper
- Moisten the edge of the wraps with water using your finger
- Fold each corner up and press together
- Twist wrapper corners in the same direction so that the filling is completely sealed and your dumpling looks like a large dough Hershey Kiss.
- Repeat steps 2 through 6 until all of your filling is used
- Preheat a small amount of canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat
- Place dumplings in hot pan a few at a time
- Pan fry until a delicious brown crust is formed on the dumpling
- Reduce heat to low and carefully add enough water to cover the bottom of pan
- Cover pan and allow potstickers to steam for about five minutes
- Cool and serve
