INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare all equipment before you start wrapping. (Important!)
2. On the baking pan, line a parchment paper or sprinkle flour/ starch.
3. Wet the paper towel (or thin kitchen towel like a flour sack or cheesecloth), and squeeze moderately to remain moderate moisture. (not soaking wet, but not too dry.)
4. Place the wrapper on your palm.
5. Place about 1 tbsp of filling on the wrapper. Putting a small amount of the filling is better to avoid the risk of tearing the wrapper.
6. Wet your finger with the bowl of water and run it around the edge of the wrapper.
7. Fold the wrapper over and make three pleats on the left side.
8. Start making a pleat from the center.
9. Use your left thumb and left index finger, make a pleat toward the right direction on the center and hold (and seal) the pleat with your right thumb.
10. Then, repeat making two more pleats on the left side.
11. Pinch the edge of the wrapper to be sure for sealing well.
*Push the stuffing in with your index finger if the stuffing gets squashed out from the wrapping.
12. Repeat making pleats on the right side.
I always hold the top of GYOZA gently, and press gently to make the bottom flat. (you don't need any force to press it.)
13. Place the GYOZA on the baking pan. Cover it with a wet paper towel to prevent the gyoza from drying.
14. Repeat wrapping the remaining Gyoza. Be sure to cover the wrapped Gyoza with a wet towel.
15. Arrange them not to touch each other.
16. Cover the baking pan filled with wrapped gyoza with plastic and store it in the refrigerator until cooking.
! Cook the wrapped gyoza within 2-3 hours (no longer than 1 day) since the bottom of the Gyoza is soaking moisture from the stuffing.
If you don't cook the Gyoza right away, it is better to freeze them rather than store them in the fridge.
⭐Roast Pork Gyoza Filling ⭐
By the way, the filling in the video is my using-up leftovers idea-roast pork leftovers Gyoza filling.
Simply, chop up roast pork as small as possible.　Add chopped scallion, minced onions, and minced carrots (which were also leftovers).　Season them using the same ingredients for the gyoza filling recipe. ↓↓↓
