How To Wrap Gyoza/Chinese Potstickers 如何包饺子

Ingredients:

• Gyoza filling (pls. refer to my Japanese Gyoza recipe)

• Gyoza wrappers (available in most of the supermarket like Tesco, Giant etc)

Note: Japanese Gyoza wrappers are thinner than the Chinese Dumpling wrappers, so make sure you buy the correct type.

• A small bowl of water (for sealing)

Method:

• Take a wrapper and place it on your palm.

• Take a small spoon of filling and put it in the center of the wrapper.

• Dip your finger into the bowl of water and draw a circle around the edge of the wrapper.

• Fold the wrapper in half and seal both center with your fingers.

• Start from the center towards right side, start sealing the wrapper by placing a pleat and press to seal with your thumb and index finger.

• Once you have made 3-4 pleats, continue with the left side of the Gyoza. Start from center towards left side, repeat what you have done for the right side.

• Once all the pleats are done on both sides, bend a bit of right and left end and lightly press down to let the bottom part expand, so it can sit nicely.

• Repeat the process. Your Gyoza or Potstickers are done.

HAPPY BAKING AND COOKING!
