Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Bamboo Steamer 21cm, (8.3 inches)
  • Steamer Ring
  • Pot

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ Cabbage, 250 g
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 block Frozen Tofu, (350 g, 12.3 oz)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Ginger Soy Sauce
  • 25 sheets Gyoza Wrappers
  • Dipping sauce of your choice

Instructions
 

  1. Prep Ingredients: Finely chop the cabbage in a food processor. Transfer it to a bowl, mix with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Thaw the frozen tofu. Wrap the chopped cabbage and tofu separately in paper towels and squeeze out excess water.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the drained cabbage and tofu. Add the egg, garlic ginger soy sauce. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
  3. Wrap the Gyoza: Place a gyoza wrapper on your palm. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Place 1-2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Pinch the edges together to seal. 
  4. Prepare the Bamboo Steamer: Wet the bamboo steamer with water. Place a layer of cabbage leaves at the bottom to prevent sticking. Arrange the gyoza on top of the cabbage leaves.
  5. Steam the Gyoza: Fill a pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer ring on the pot and set the bamboo steamer on top. Steam the gyoza over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve: Place the bamboo steamer on a large plate and serve with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • If the filling is too wet, it may tear the wrappers during wrapping. Be sure to drain the water thoroughly using paper towels.
  • If the filling is too loose, you can thicken it by incorporating potato starch.
  • To prevent burning, make sure the bamboo steamer is entirely wet. Check out additional bamboo steamer tips in the Steamed Vegetable recipe.
