    Today I can finally show you one of my favorite recipes… delicious Potstickers aka. Gyoza! These little fellows can be made with so many different fillings – for this recipe here I stuffed the little dumplings with pork and napa cabbage. So good! Also really easy to prepare – many do not believe it, but dumplings are actually a really easy peasy dish to make.

    I am a big fan of Asian cuisine in general. It does not matter what country the dishes are from – everything from that corner of the world is delicious I think. Dumplings, in particular, have been among my absolute favorite dishes for many years already – not only from Asia though. I love dipping dumplings into a sauce – soy sauce or any other hot sauce – and then stuffing these dumplings into my face. Mmmm… I think I’m starting to drool already. Guess I should get some from the freezer right now and throw them into the pan for lunch…

    Dumplings are really not difficult to make. No need to have a Ph.D. to get them filled and fried. However, these little packages take some time to prepare – I have to admit that. Chopping the veggies, preparing the filling, and shaping the dumplings take some time. But luckily Gyoza dumplings freeze very well. All you have to do is prepare them as usual and freeze them uncooked. Whenever you are up for a snack or want to use them for lunch/dinner you can grab some from the freezer and just throw them into the hot pan. No need to defrost them or anything. They just need several minutes longer, but that’s it. Asian meal prep.

    About that dumpling filling… what I did is just a suggestion of what you could do. There are many other ways you can stuff these little delights. Meat, fish, chicken, or plain veggies – all work well. Pork and napa cabbage is a classic filling you will find in many dumpling recipes but there is so much you can do. We have a nice dumpling restaurant in our neighborhood and they serve dumplings filled with pulled pork and kimchi. So good! If you are into vegan recipes I can show you a vegan filling as well if you like – there is no need to use meat or stuff like that to get delicious dumplings…

    By the way, you can learn how to fold the dumplings on YouTube. That’s where I got the »moves«. There are many different methods to enclose the dumpling filling. My dumplings here are probably made with the simplest method imaginable. All you have to do is fold the dough over the filling to get a half-circle, and then you just fold/crimp the edges from one side to seal the filling in. Traditionally there is a certain number of folds you have to do but I think as long as nothing is getting out of the dumpling during cooking or frying, the number of the folds is of secondary importance. Whenever you are a bit more experienced, you should, of course, make the right number of folds or maybe try different techniques. But the goal should be to get sh**t done and keep the filling where it is supposed to be.

    If you can’t find YouTube videos on making dumplings let me know and I can make one and add it here.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Let the frozen Gyoza wrappers thaw completely (e.g. in the fridge). Make sure there is no ice on the dough sheets – if it melts, it will soften the dough sheets. Cover the thawed dough sheets with a damp cloth/kitchen paper to prevent them from drying out.

    2. Wash, dry, and chop the napa cabbage finely. Peel and chop the onion, spring onion, and garlic finely. Peel the ginger and dice it finely. Add everything together with the ground pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Sriracha-Sauce (optional) to a bowl and mix until well combined. Cover and set aside for about 30 minutes.

    3. While the filling is resting, prepare the dipping sauce. Add the soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, sesame oil, spring onions, and sesame seeds to a small bowl and mix to combine. Add some fresh red chili rings if you like the sauce hot. Set aside.

    4. To assemble the dumplings, place one dough sheet in your hand, place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center, brush the edges with a little bit of water, and fold the dough sheet over the filling. To close the dumpling, start in one corner and crimp the edge several times to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining filling and dough sheets until all of it is used. Cover the finished dumplings with a damp cloth/kitchen paper to keep them from drying out until you’re done with everything.

    5. Add the sesame oil to a large, non-stick pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Place several dumplings in the pan and fry until the bottoms of the potstickers are golden brown and crunchy – keep moving them so they won’t stick to the pan. Once the potstickers got enough color, add some water – about 2-3 tbsp. depending on the size of your pan – and place a lid on the pan immediately. The created steam will cook the filling – takes about 5-6 minutes. If the water evaporates completely during the cooking time, add a bit more. Remove the lid, if there is still some water left, continue cooking until it is gone – gently move the potstickers so they don’t stick to the pan. Take the dumplings out, place them on a piece of kitchen paper, and repeat with the remaining dumplings. Serve the finished potstickers hot with the dipping sauce.

    Note: Unused dumplings can also be frozen on a tray and then fried and steamed some other day directly from the freezer – the cooking time will be about 3-4 minutes longer in that case.

    1. Die gefrorenen Gyoza Teigblätter (z.B. im Kühlschrank) auftauen lassen. Achtet darauf, dass kein Eis auf den Teigblättern ist – wenn das schmilzt, weicht es die Teigblätter auf. Die aufgetauten Teigblätter dann mit einem feuchten Tuch/Küchenpapier abdecken, damit sie nicht austrocknen.

    2. Den Chinakohl waschen, trocknen und fein hacken. Zwiebel, Frühlingszwiebel und Knoblauch schälen und fein hacken. Den Ingwer schälen und sehr fein würfeln. Alles zusammen mit dem Schweinehack, Sojasauce, Reisessig und der Sriracha Sauce (optional) in eine Schüssel geben und gut vermischen. Die Schüssel abdecken und für etwa 30 Minuten zur Seite stellen.

    3. Für die Dipping Sauce die Sojasauce, mit dem Orangensaft, Limettensaft, Sesamöl, Frühlingszwiebeln und Sesam in eine kleine Schüssel geben und alles gut verrühren. Wer es gerne etwas schärfer mag, kann hier auch noch frische rote Chiliringe dazugeben. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. Für die Dumplings dann jeweils ein Teigblatt in eine Hand legen, etwa 1 EL der Füllung in die Mitte setzen, den Rand mit etwas Wasser bestreichen und dann das Teigblatt über die Füllung schlagen. Von einer Seite her den Rand in Falten legen und so den Dumpling formen. Mit der restlichen Füllung und Teigblättern wiederholen, bis alles aufgebraucht ist. Die fertigen Dumplings mit einem feuchten Tuch/Küchenpapier abdecken, damit sie nicht austrocknen, bis alle geformt sind.

    5. Etwas Sesamöl in eine Antihaft-Pfanne (mit Deckel) geben und erhitzen. Mehrere Dumplings in die Pfanne setzen und dann so lange anbraten, bis die Unterseiten der Dumplings durchgehend gebräunt und knusprig sind. Zwischendurch immer wieder mal herumschieben, damit nichts anbrennt. Sobald die Potstickers genug gebräunt sind, etwas Wasser in die Pfanne geben – etwa 2-3 EL je nach Größe der Pfanne – und dann sofort mit einem Deckel schließen. Der sich entwickelnde Dampf gart die Dumplings, was etwa 5-6 Minuten dauert. Sollte das Wasser während der Garzeit komplett verdampfen, noch etwas nachlegen. Nach der Garzeit den Deckel entfernen, sollte noch etwas Wasser übrig sein, dieses einkochen lassen. Die Potstickers hier vorsichtig bewegen, damit sie nicht an der Pfanne kleben bleiben. Aus der Pfanne nehmen und auf ein Stück Küchenpapier setzen, dann mit den restlichen Dumplings wiederholen. Die fertigen Potstickers heiß mit der Sauce servieren.

    Hinweis: Nicht verwendete Dumplings kann man auf einem Blech auch prima einfrieren und dann direkt aus dem Tiefkühler verwenden – die Koch-/Dämpfzeit verlängert sich dann um etwa 3-4 Minuten.
