As you know from my previous post, I bought lots of delicious Japanese ingredients at the local Chinese food store. One of those things was gyoza skins.
Originally I had planned to do a dinner party and make tons of gyoza...thank goodness I didn't because the pack mad much less than I thought!
I chopped up garlic, leeks, kikurage mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, edamame and sesame seeds and put them in a bowl. Add a little bit of sesame oil and mirin and tadaaa, you've got the mix for the inside of the gyoza! Ariel helped me make them; it was her first time! I ended up finishing them, but she did a pretty good job. I guess I'll have to thank my mom for turning gyoza-making into a family activity.
Then I fried them up and they were ready to eat! They were delicious, but definitely don't beat my mom's. I think next time I need to include some cabbage and tofu. AND SHRIMP.
no waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, wait carrots?
