Yaki Gyoza with Salmon and Tofu

Yaki Gyoza with Salmon and Tofu is a deliciously unique twist on traditional Japanese dumplings, offering a delightful combination of savory salmon and creamy tofu. These low-carb gyozas are perfect for a light lunch, providing both flavor and nutrition in every bite.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillet - 150 grams, finely minced
• Firm tofu - 100 grams, drained and crumbled
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Gyoza wrappers (low-carb) - 12 pieces
• Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon (for frying)
• Water - 100 ml (for steaming)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced salmon, crumbled tofu, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal, creating pleats if desired. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, arrange the gyozas in the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Add 100 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Let the gyozas steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated and the gyozas are cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and allow the gyozas to cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
