Love love! Gyoza with Lotus Roots Topping
Love love Gyozam🥟❣️Japanese way to call Chinese pan-fried dumplings. This time, Gyoza with Lotus Roots Topping.
In Chinese restaurants, I see more steamed / boiled dumplings, where in Japan we enjoy them often pan fried, with thinner skins.
A bit with ethnic & crunchy twist, with coriander & lotus roots on surface.
My usual filling: minced pork, cabbage, Chinese chives (garlicky), pureed garlic & ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt.
I added tomatoes, and replaced the pork with minced chicken. With Indian henna still clear on my hands (from the Hindu wedding in India), I didn’t feel right to cook pork / beef… yet.
Side dish, “bang bang cucumber salad” – in my previous reel, perfect match!!
Quick & easy recipe
- Prepare filling: chop chop cabbage & Chinese chives, salt a bit & mix. Later, drain. Mix well with pureed garlic, ginger, minced meat, and the rest of the condiments.
💡Draining & mixing well with meat is the key! - Skin & slice lotus roots, sautee in pan with some sesame oil, until half cooked.
💡If you won’t cook them right away, put them in water – so that they don’t turn brown / gray
💡 Slicing them thinner would be pretty too! Be careful not too cook too much, as it will lose its crunchiness. - Wrap! Seal with starch diluted water. Place them on sliced lotus roots. Pour some sesame oil & starch water, put lid and cook in mid heat until cooked.
- Take off the lid, bake in high heat for ±30sec(for crisp surface), flip! Top with your likings(this time, coriander & sliced red onions)
Delicious, with soy sauce & chili oil. I also like the combo of vinegar with white pepper✨
[Japanese] おしゃれで素敵、レンコントッピングのエスニック餃子✨
餃子、それはソウルフード。
シンガポールの中華のお店で見かける餃子は、もちもち水餃子や蒸し餃子が主流な気がします。
シンガポールでの餃子
インドの結婚式で掌に入れてもらったヘナ、なんとなくまだ牛肉や豚肉を手にするには早い気がして、今回は鶏ひき肉餃子です。
歯ごたえ＆見た目が楽しくなるので、厚めのレンコンを表面に。
ざっくりレシピ：
１．具材の準備。キャベツ＆ニラをみじんにし、塩を振りかけ、少し置く。水気しっかり切り、ひき肉＆すりおろし生姜・ニンニク＆調味料とよくよく混ぜる（オイスターソース、ごま油、醤油、塩等）。今回はトマトも追加。
２．レンコンをスライス(薄くてもレースのように可愛らしいです）。ごま油で、さっと炒める（表面半透明になればOK)
３．餃子を包み、レンコンの上に敷き詰めていく。中〜強火にかけ、水溶き片栗粉を回し入れ、蓋。ごま油を最後鍋肌に沿わせて追加すると、カリッと！
４.お皿にひっくり返して。たっぷりパクチー＆赤玉ねぎのスライスをトッピング
