| Non Poisonous Gyoza! | (Entered Nov. 12, 2008) | Sponsors: | |||||||
What with all the food scares coming out of China these days, you might be wondering if any frozen or packaged food is safe to eat. If you're a gyoza (chinese dumplings) lover like me, and would prefer your gyoza not to have pesticides, cardboard, melamine or what have you in it, there is a solution....
Make your own! Ok fine, you can also boycott frozen packaged gyoza made in China, but a) that won't make you any less hungry, and b) making them by hand is more fun then staging a boycott.
Next, mash the ground pork and everything else together with your hands! Ugh. Slimy.
When you've done that, put a blob of the mixture in the middle of each wrap, wet the edges and press them together. A bit time consuming to say the least. Kumi and I made things a bit more interesting by filling a select few with things like chilli pepper, hot mustard and cheese. You never knew which were which until you bit into them. The chilli pepper ones were a blast.
40 gyoza! It took a bit of time but it was worth it. Time to get cooking as I'm starving.
Kumi and I like our gyoza crispy, not soft and soggy like some restaurants make them. Fry them up until golden brown.
Dinner is served! Soup is optional, but beer and rice are mandatory. Itadakimasu! |
