Gyoza: Japan Recipe
(Dvd)
Gyoza: Japan Recipe
Gyoza is originally a Chinese dish, which has become very popular across Japan. This recipe shows how to make the gyoza dough and the gyoza filling. The time consuming and difficult part of making of the dough can be skipped by buying premade dough pieces, which are available at some Japanese and Chinese grocery stores.
Ingredients:
(for 30 Gyoza)
* Dough:
o 170 mL water
o 200 g strong flour
* Filling:
o 200 g ground pork
o Cabbage
o Nira*: can be substituted by leek or green onion
*
o Leek or Green onion
o Garlic
o Ginger
o Sake*
o Soya sauce, salt, and pepper
o Sesame oil
* Dipping Sauce:
o Soya sauce
o Vinegar
* This ingredient may not be available in Western supermarkets, but you should be able to find it in Japanese grocery stores that exist in most large European and American cities.
Preparation:
Dough:
1.Mix the water and the flour to a dough that should not be sticky but as soft as an ear lobe.
2.Put a wet towel over the dough, and let it stand for several minutes. Separate the dough in 30 pieces, and form each of them to very thin discs with a diameter of about 10 cm. The middle of each disc should be a little bit thicker than the edge.
Filling:
3.Cut some green, outer cabbage leaves, some green onion (or leek), nira, ginger, and garlic in very small pieces. The amount of these ingredients should equal the amount of meat. Do it as you like.
4.Put some salt on the cabbage, and let it stand for five minutes. Then press the water out of the cabbage pieces.
5.Mix the cabbage, green onion (or leek), nira, ginger, garlic, and the ground pork all together, and add some salt, pepper, soya sauce, sake, and sesame oil. Mix it all very well.
Making and frying the Gyoza:
6.Put some of the filling onto a piece of dough. Remember that the filling should suffice for 30 gyoza pieces.
7.Moisten the edge of the dough with water. Moisten only a semicircle, not all the way around.
8.Close the gyoza. While closing it, fold the edge about 6 times as shown on the image.
9.Put the gyoza on the table as shown in the image.
10.Fry the Gyoza in a little bit of hot oil until the bottom is brownish, then add water so that the gyoza are in the water with about half of their hight.
11.Keep the high heat and wait until all the water has vaporized. Then remove the gyoza from the heat.
12.Dipping sauce: Mix the same amounts of soya sauce and vinegar together.
Serving and eating:
Eat gyoza pieces after dipping them in the dipping sauce.
General information:
In China dumplins are usually eaten either steamed, fried or in a soup. Japanese gyoza, however, are usually fried. There are many kinds of fillings used, e.g. with different seafood instead of the meat, other vegetable, etc.

Amish Tomato Ketchup
INGREDIENTS:
* 6 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
* 2 medium onions, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
* 1/4 cup water
* 3 pounds tomatoes, quartered
* 5 Tablespoons vinegar
* 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
* 1/2 Tablespoon allspice berries
* 1/2 Tablespoon whole cloves
* 1/2 Tablespoon celery seeds
* 1 teaspoon ground mace
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION:
Place the celery, onions, and water in a medium-size saucepan over medium high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are nearly soft, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook tomatoes in a large heavy nonreactive saucepan over medium heat, partially covered, until they are very soft and almost a puree, about 25 minutes. Add the cooked celery and onions; continue cooking until the vegetables are completely softened, about 15 minutes.
Strain tomato mixture in small batches through a sieve into another nonreactive saucepan, pressing down firmly to extract all of the liquid. Stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, allspice, cloves, celery seeds, mace, and salt. Place the pan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Continue boiling, stirring often to be sure that the ketchup is not sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the mixture thickens somewhat, 15 to 20 minutes.
Allow ketchup to cool, then ladle into jars. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 months. Or ladle the boiling-hot ketchup into hot sterilized canning jars. Seal according to the lid manufacturer's instructions.
Yield: 1-1/2 pints
