Home cooking: Gyoza (Pot stickers)


What's better than Chinese takeout? Making your own BETTER Chinese takeout. In this case, B and I made some homemade gyoza filled with pork, nira (japanese chives), chestnut, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, eggs and sesame oil. It took B quite a while to get down the folding part, which surprised both of us since he is so good at wrapping presents. He got it down in the end, but his first 50 gyoza were pretty ugly. Looks aside, however, it was the best gyoza I have ever eaten, and very economical. We froze the leftovers! Of course, we had to eat it with uni. Yummm...
