Prawn gyozas

Making my own gyozas was an absolute first but my first attempt worked out pretty well. I bought the wrappers from our local Asian supermarket but next time I’m going to attempt to make my own because they were a little bit too thick and doughy. That said, they were still delicious and I can’t wait to have a dinner party to be able to share them with friends. The inspiration for the filling texture came from my Thai fishcakes and the flavours just happened to be what was in my fridge.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put all of the ingredients (minus the wrappers), chopped, into a blender and blend until you have a slightly chunky paste

* Step 2

Place a tsp full of paste into the centre of a gyoza wrapper, wet the outer rim of the wrapper with water and fold in half, then pleat the edges (I’ll be honest, given this was the first time I’ve done anything like this, I had to follow a YouTube video)

* Step 3

Next heat a tbsp oil in a pan with a lid (I used the lid of my le creuset and a frying pan) over a medium / high heat and add the gyozas. Cook for a minute or two until the base is golden brown. Then add around a quarter of a cup of water and place the lid on top of the pan to allow the gyozas to steam for about 3 mins.
