We are right in middle of the rainy season in the middle~ western part of Japan. Every day we have an uncomfortable rainy night where the temperature doesn't go down under 25c and there's no wind. I don't want to use A/C so much from the eco-aspect but sometimes I just can't continue sleeping!
Today's recipe is gyoza (dumplings). I think this cooking style is originally from China as all of Japan, China and Korea have a similar recipe.
It's easy to buy the dough (the photo below) in Japan but if you can't find that, you can mix flour, water and a bit of salt, and make it flat. It takes quite a lot of work but I used to do it this way in Germany and it tasted good!
Ingredients:
gyoza dough
minced pork
cabbage
chinese chive
ginger
salt (a little)
soy sauce (a little)
sesame oil (a little)
nutmeg (a little)
flour (1tbsp)
2- Stir 1, minced pork, salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and nutmeg.
3- Wrap 2 with the gyoza dough. You can usually buy the dough at Asian shops if you are not in Asia.
4- Heat some sesame oil, put 2 and fry for a minute without moving.
Please eat with some sauce (soy sauce, sesame oil, chili, vinegar etc..).
Itadakimasu!
