These Steamed Gyoza Dumplings are a variation of the RecipeTin Eats Gyoza recipe. As a substitute of pan-frying the dumplings, they’re steamed. The form of my gyoza is totally different, however the filling is similar to that of pan-fried gyoza.
This recipe accommodates larger ratio of garlic chives than the usual gyoza, giving it a barely stronger garlic flavour, which I believe fits steamed gyoza higher.
Despite the fact that the substances are nearly the identical, steamed gyoza is sort of a distinct dish from pan-fried gyoza – look and texture are totally different, and it has much less energy. It is usually sooner to prepare dinner, as you’ll be able to steam all of the dumplings directly.
To maximise the variety of gyoza that I can put in a steamer, I additionally modified the form in order that the dumplings stand upright. It seems to be like a Yum Cha (Dim Sum) dish and are fairly totally different from regular gyoza.
Gyoza Variations
There are 4 methods of cooking gyoza: pan-fried gyoza (as present in RecipeTin Eats), steamed gyoza (as we speak’s recipe), boiled gyoza, and deep-fried gyoza.
By far the preferred gyoza in Japan is pan-fried gyoza. When folks say ‘gyoza’ (餃子), they normally imply pan-fried gyoza. To tell apart gyoza cooked utilizing different strategies, a prefix is added to the phrase ‘gyoza’ (餃子) to point the cooking methodology.
Steamed gyoza is named ‘mushi gyoza’ (蒸し餃子), boiled gyoza is ‘sui gyoza’ or ‘mizu gyoza’ (水餃子), and deep-fried gyoza is ‘age gyoza’ (揚げ餃子).
From prime left clockwise: Pan-fried gyoza, steamed gyoza, deep-fried gyoza, boiled gyoza.
There aren’t any strict guidelines, however boiled gyoza is normally formed like pan-fried gyoza – moon formed and with or with out pleats.
Age gyoza may be made just by deep-frying common gyoza as an alternative of pan-frying them. Some age gyoza recipes seal the wrappers by urgent the sides with a fork, as an alternative of creating pleats. There are totally different pleating patterns too.
I believe the moon form is finest fitted to pan-fried and deep-fried gyoza, however steamed gyoza and boiled gyoza may be any form.
Utilizing the identical substances, you may make 4 sorts of gyoza!

It won’t be as wholesome as lean pork mince, however common pork mince from the grocery store works higher for gyoza. The fats makes the filling sticky, clean, and softer.
If you happen to can’t discover garlic chives, you should utilize both regular chives or the inexperienced a part of inexperienced onions. In that case, double the quantity of garlic to compensate for the garlicky flavour.
Dipping Sauce
- Soy sauce
- Rice wine vinegar
- Rāyu (Japanese chilli oil, non-compulsory).
If you happen to choose, you’ll be able to simply use soy sauce.

There aren’t any guidelines in regards to the form of steamed gyoza, and you’ll form it in a different way from mine. In comparison with the usual gyoza form, my form takes up much less house within the steamer, permitting extra dumplings to be cooked directly.
I used a big bamboo steamer (27cm / 10⅝” in diameter) positioned over a wok, however you can too steam them in a steamer pot and even on a plate set inside a daily pot.
I shared Steamed Gyoza Dumplings with my household, and the suggestions was excellent. They’re a more healthy model of gyoza and had been nicely acquired by my household.

Recipe Notes
1. You possibly can change the ratio of those substances so long as the full weight/quantity is roughly the identical. It doesn’t matter if the burden of the greens is barely kind of than specified.
If you happen to can’t discover garlic chives, you should utilize both regular chives or the inexperienced a part of the spring onions and double the quantity of garlic.
2. You should buy gyoza wrapping sheets at Japanese/Asian grocery shops. Some supermarkets additionally promote them.
They normally are available in packs of 20-30 sheets, however most packs include 30. The label on the package deal sometimes exhibits both ‘gyoza’ or ‘gow gee’.
3. There aren’t any guidelines for the ratio of soy sauce to vinegar. Some folks might not use vinegar in any respect.
4. Ideally, every dumpling ought to include the identical quantity of filling. If you wish to be exact, weigh your entire filling and divide the burden by 30 to calculate the quantity of filling per wrapper.
My filling weighed 380g / 13.4oz, so every dumpling wanted 12.7g / 0.45oz of filling, which was roughly 2 teaspoons.
When there are solely about 10 wrappers left, I evenly divide the remaining filling amongst them in order that the filling is used up and gyoza items are related sizes.
5. I used a really giant bamboo steamer (27cm / 10⅝” in diameter) that might maintain 30 gyoza directly. When you’ve got a two-tier steamer, you might also be capable of steam them abruptly too.
6. You possibly can refrigerate raw gyoza in an hermetic container the day earlier than you prepare dinner them. Raw gyoza will also be frozen for a few months. You don’t have to defrost them when cooking, however you will want to steam for a few minutes longer than cooking contemporary gyoza.

Meal Concepts
A typical Japanese meal consists of a fundamental dish, a few aspect dishes, a soup and rice. I attempt to provide you with a mix of dishes with a wide range of flavours, colors, textures and make-ahead dishes.
You’ll in all probability serve 8-10 gyoza per individual, which is about 70-80g of pork mince per serving. Because of this, I selected Harusame Soup so as to add extra protein to the meal. Tonjiru can be good should you choose miso soup.
