Ebi Gyoza

Ebi Gyoza are delicious Japanese dumplings filled with succulent shrimp and fresh vegetables, perfect for a light and flavorful meal. These kosher-friendly dumplings offer a delightful crunch and a burst of umami in every bite.

Ingredients

• Shrimp, peeled and deveined - 200 grams
• Napa cabbage, finely chopped - 50 grams
• Green onion, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Gyoza wrappers - 12 pieces
• Cooking oil (for frying) - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 100 ml

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, napa cabbage, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
2. Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture to the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Make pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional look. Repeat this step with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat the cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, arrange the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Carefully add 100 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms. Serve hot, accompanied by a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and a splash of rice vinegar.
