We are celebrating the start of the Tokyo Games with over 50 recipes representing more than 25 countries competing in the approaching Summer Games ! Come join me and my chap Summer Games Week bloggers as we bring you recipes from appetizers to drinks to entrées and desserts !
As we all know the summer Olympics starting signal this workweek. I ‘m excite since they were supposed to be last year but got postponed a year. It ‘s fun to watch them whenever they are on. Summer Olympics are my favored because I was a swimmer as a child. Swimming and diving are my darling events and I always make certain I get to watch them. I besides played soccer for a while and my brother played soccer constantly so I like to watch that equally well.
Since the Olympics are being held in Japan this year I wanted to make some cuisine to honor that state. I thought it would be fun to watch the games while eating the japanese food.
I have n’t had a unharmed bunch of exposure to japanese food as I would n’t eat it as a child and now that I ‘m older we do n’t have any japanese restaurants nearby. My uncle used to go to Japan respective times a year for his job and would talk to us about the foods he would eat.
When looking through tons of recipes I came across Chicken Gyoza which are basically chicken potstickers. While you can make the dough on your own it ‘s much easier to merely grab won ton wrappers and use those rather.
I liked that this was a fairly easy recipe and did n’t have a long ton of ingredients. You can besides make them ahead of time and freeze them which is courteous angstrom well. This recipe makes a draw so I ended up cooking some and freezing the perch for later .
Ingredients:
- ground chicken
- garlic cloves
- ginger
- salt
- pepper
- paprika
- green onions
- cabbage
- soy sauce
- wonton wrappers
- rice wine vinegar
To make the dumplings cook the background chicken in a frying pan until it is no longer pink. Add in the garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika, green onions, pilfer, and soy sauce and fudge for 2-3 minutes .
Remove from heat and cool completely .
To make the dumplings place a teaspoon of filling in the in-between of a won ton negligee, rub the edges with water system, and seal .
Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the dumplings for 1-2 minutes. Flip and fry for an addition minute. Add water and cover the frying pan with a eyelid to steam the dumplings .
serve with dipping sauce and enjoy !
I like how simple these are to make. They do n’t have a short ton of extra ingredients in the fill so you are chiefly tasting the actual chicken.
There were many different versions of the sauce that I found while searching. I went with one that I use often for dipping bean curd, dumplings, or wontons which is a simple sauce made from soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. It ‘s piquant and lemony and then perfect for these .
Can I just steam these?
Yes, you do n’t have to fry them first base but I like that it firms up the dumpling before steaming. If I was putting these into a soup I would barely steam .
How do I store the Gyoza?
If you have already cooked them you can store them in an air rigorous container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you have n’t cooked them they are best keep in the deep-freeze until you are ready to cook them .
Can I freeze them for later?
Yes ! once you have made the gyoza lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Place them in a nothing top deep-freeze bag and store in the deep-freeze for up to 6 months. When quick to make them pull them directly out of the deep-freeze and just steam them for a few extra minutes .
Can I put these in soup?
Yes ! rather of steaming them ahead of clock I would wait until the soup is ready and just boil them in the soup for 1-2 minutes to cook them then serve .

We ended up enjoying these for dinner along with a few egg rolls. I actually had a bean curd stir fry planned as well but after I saw how many dumplings this recipe made I decided that we could good eat them for dinner .
The dumplings were easy and the filling was perfectly spiced. The dipping sauce truly made this dish so do n’t skip it ! It adds the perfective come of serrated wrack and salt that the dumplings need .
