Gyoza:

Step 7:

Put your gyoza wrappers on a sheet of baking paper.

Humidify the edges of 1/2 of the disc.

Add 1 tsp of the filling in the center of the disc.

Close the wrapper on top of the filling by bringing 2 sides of the disc together, while welding the edges by pinching them to create small folds on one side.

Cooking

Step 8:

Line your bamboo steamer with baking paper and place your gyoza inside. Place your steamer in a pot over steaming water and cook for 3 min, or until the wrappers become translucent.

Step 9:

Using Avere's soaking method, wet another sheet of baking paper and line a pan with it.

Add 2 tbsp of oil and put your pan on high heat.

Put the gyoza on the baking paper and fry for 5 min to give your gyoza a golden, crispy texture.

Step 10:

Serve while it is still hot.
