Folded Crispy Gyoza

IMAGE

Unlike traditional gyoza with sealed edges, this gyoza is open and cooked on a griddle like crepes or pancakes. Gluten-free gyoza wrappers are made with rice flour, and the fillings are cooked to perfection in between the wrappers. Enjoy this very satisfying dish!

Tips:
  • Adding shiratamako sweet rice flour into regular rice flour increases the mochi-like texture. Shiratamako and mochiko flours are both gluten-free, made of sweet rice, and can be used interchangeably.

  • All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.

  • Asian ingredients including sweet rice flour and oyster sauce can be purchased online or at Asian grocery stores.

Ingredients

For the filling

5oz/150g bok coy or cabbage, finely chopped (about 2 cups)

7oz/200g ground pork

½ teaspoon (3g) salt

1 teaspoon (4g) sugar

1 teaspoon (6g) oyster sauce

2 teaspoons (10ml) sake

½ teaspoon (3ml) soy sauce

¼ cup (55ml) water

1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil

1 teaspoon (5g) garlic, minced

1 teaspoon (5g) ginger, minced

For the wrappers

¾ cup (120g) rice flour

2 tablespoons (20g) shiratamako sweet rice flour

1⅔ tablespoons (20g) potato starch

1 egg

1 cup (230ml) water

Vegetable oil as needed

For the sauce

3 tablespoons (54ml) soy sauce

2 teaspoons (8g) sugar

1½ teaspoons (8ml) sesame oil

2 tablespoons (12g) green onions, finely chopped

Directions

  1. For the filling

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine bok choy with a sprinkle of water. Cover and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Drain well to remove all excess water. Set aside to cool.

  2. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling. When mixed well, cover and chill in the refrigerator.

  3. For the wrappers

    Combine all the dry ingredients first, then add an egg. Mix in the water gradually.

  4. Heat the griddle and coat with oil. Spoon in the batter to make circles, 4 inches (10cm) in diameter, 1 inch apart. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center and fold in half. Cook until slightly golden brown on both sides. Repeat.

  5. Combine the sauce in a small bowl and serve with the gyoza.
